BIOTECHNOLOGICAL CROPS IN MODERN AGRARIAN SECTOR

Abstract

In the article the wide review of genetically modified crops with new traits was presented. On the basis of the collected data the description of main traits that attended in biotech crops is pointed: herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, viral disease resistance et al. The analysis of data showed that all new genes built-in in plants had a bacterial, plant or viral origin. The genetically modified lines of maize and soybean have been got the most distribution in the world.
