On genetically modified crops of "edible"

For education, research and cultivation of genetically modified crops mainly has the following objectives.

Increase storability (for example, less tolerance)

Increase production volume

Adjust ingredients, increase nutritional value and enhance functionality

In addition, the genetically modified crops produced as edible are mainly as follows.

Soy

Corn

Potato

Rapeseed

Sugar beet

On "non-edible" genetically modified crops

For non-edible use, genetically modified crops are mainly researched and cultivated as follows.

For ornamental use

For feed

For ornamental use, " blue rose " or " blue carnation " and the like are made using genetic recombination technology It was.
For feed use, Because it is cheap (For details, it is introduced on the page of "Benefits of genetically modified crops") Genetically modified crops may be used .
For feed and above foods for edible use, it is sometimes used as fuel .
