Study about Gene flow and Stability Assessment in GM rice

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) statistics, GM crops are now commercially planted on about 100 million hectares in some 22 developed and developing countries. and global cultivation area of GM soybean, maize, cotton and canola (oilseed rape) reached 114 million hectares in 2007, the total area cropped with GM crops in the European Union (EU) was approximately 110 thousand hectares (James, 2007). Recent global abnormal weather, desertification associated with global warming, dry land soils, and salinization of ground water associated with the large-scale agricultural irrigation agriculture all demonstrate that the agricultural environment is deteriorating rapidly (Long & Ort., 2010; Park et al., 2009).
