biotechnology and ecological risk  

Définition

  • Since the late 1970s, advances in biotechnology have allowed for the unprecedented crossing of genes between species, and over the past decade many of these genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have been released into ecological systems. The environmental release of GMOs has taken place at landscape and test plot scales, predominately involving crop and tree varieties, although livestock and fish species have also been modified and are on the verge of commercialization in some countries.
