GM maize. Genetically-modified maize. Petri dish containing sprouting genetically-modified
Genetically-modified maize. Petri dish containing sprouting genetically-modified (GM) maize kernels (Zea mays). Maize, commonly known as corn, is grown for food in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. Genetic modification of plants involves altering their DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid), the chemical which controls every part of an organisms growth and development. This modification may give the plant desirable characteristics, such as resistance to disease and herbicides. In this case the maize plant has been modified to improve its resistance to glyphosinate-type weedkillers. It is controversial whether GM foods are safe to eat

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of genetic modification in plants. In the image, a Petri dish holds sprouting genetically-modified maize kernels, also known as GM maize. Maize, commonly referred to as corn and grown for food in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide, takes center stage here. Genetic modification involves altering the DNA of organisms like plants, which controls their growth and development. Through this process, scientists can introduce desirable traits into these organisms. In this case, the maize plant has been modified to enhance its resistance to glyphosate-type weedkillers—a significant breakthrough in agricultural research. However, it is important to note that GM foods remain a topic of controversy regarding their safety for consumption. As such debates continue among experts and consumers alike about potential risks or benefits associated with genetically modified crops. This thought-provoking print from Science Photo Library provides us with an opportunity to delve into the realm of plant biotechnology and explore how science is pushing boundaries to improve crop characteristics without mentioning any commercial use or specific company involved. By capturing this momentous scientific achievement through visual storytelling, we are invited to ponder upon the immense potential that genetic engineering holds for our future food production systems while considering various perspectives on its implications.
