Gene is the basic unit of the genetic organism, is a kind of control biological character transfer, change, and the development of genetic units.To say the gene is biological variety characteristics decision, is the root of life mystery.People using biological chemical method, a kind of biological cells in gene, cut or in vitro, then Introduce another kind of creature living cells, to change another kind of biological genetic traits or the process of creating a new species, known as genetic engineering, commonly known as gm.So-called genetically modified (gm) oil, is certain genes are after the transfer, formation of oil of biological genetic traits were changed.So far, soybean and cottonseed is most important Genetically modified (gm) fuel.
Ordinary soybean oil content is low,(Henan huatai soybean oil extraction machine has most advanced technology,and can process low oilcontent soybean) only about 18% commonly, scientists used biochemical method, a particular gene will be a kind of high oil content in the fuel, by the method of cutting and recombination in vitro introducing soybean cells, after several generations of breeding and selection, to increase the ordinary soybean oil content to more than 20%, it is virtually increased.The unit of soybean production, it is a job to bring benefits to human.At the same time also can have: resistance to insect pests.Lodging resistance, low temperature resistance, drought resistance gene were transferred to a particular organism, has many advantages.
New genes in transgenic oil will produce adverse effect to human body, is currently scientists are the focus of debate, has not been determined, the world also have different rules.But, whenever in transgenic oil production of oil, must be displayed on the label wording, genetically modified (gm).
