One of the environmental concerns is the production of the herbs by chance, but this is rewarding. Herbal status in plants is the result of many genes working together; therefore, they are not likely to be produced unintentionally. As well as the fear of the transmission of some genes for herbs such as resistance to herbicides and insects, has proved that this is not limited to genetic engineering plants, but it may also occur in non-GM plants, in addition to the development of a strategy to prevent the transmission of genes to relatives of grass. The transmission of genes to microorganisms in the soil - one of the environmental concerns raised as well - which may lead to microbial flora changes - recent studies have shown that this transition does not occur; if it occurs at very low rates.
The transfer of genes to plants requires the use of the genetic vector, or plasmid (DNA bodies that swim in the cell cytoplasm as transgenic agents). In addition to the desired gene, the plasmid contains other antibiotic-resistant genes, such as the resistance gene of ampicillin, kanamycin, and gene to follow up the desired gene function.
Antibiotic resistance genes have raised concerns about their passage into human intestines after ingestion of genetically engineered plants. Which leads to the bacteria in the stomach and intestines of the human antibiotic resistance, and the consequences of this is the failure of antibiotics described by the doctor in the treatment of diseases that may affect the human, which calls for the search for another generation of antibiotics, a difficult process takes time and effort And huge amounts of money. It is also feared that even if humans do not eat modified plants, they are still susceptible to entering and feeding these genes by inhaling the pollen from these plants, or eating meat and animal products that have inhaled pollen loaded with genes or honey Contaminated with pollen loaded with genes, carried by bees from the flowers of genetically modified plants to honey cells. That is, we will be trapped in so-called genetic pollution.
