Investigating the status of transgenic crops in Iran in terms of cultivation, consumption, laws and rights in comparison with the world

Abstract Recently, there has been a development in transgenic technologies in many countries to meet nutritional needs of increasing worlds҆ population. However, there are some concerns about possible risks in the field of growing genetically modified (GM) food, such as threats of biodiversity and f...
