Genetically Modified Crops emerging scenario and detection strategies

Abstract

Genetically modified (GM) crops with desired traits have been
developed by introducing gene or genetic construct of interest by
using molecular or recombinant DNA techniques. These transgenic
crops carry a new trait which was not present earlier in the native
crop and thus the inserted transgene allows selection of transfomants and in enhancing the already existing trait. But there is need to allay the consumer concerns related to GM food products, before moving forward in introducing these crops in a big way.
