This study is about how the modified traits of GMOs can be transferred through pollination. At the beginning of the 21st century the EEA (European Economic Area) created a project for the ESF (European Science Foundation) to test which crops are more likely to transfer modified genes to other plants through pollination.

PCR (polymerase chain reaction) technology is a technique in molecular genetics that allows the analysis of any short sequence of DNA. Even in samples containing very little quantities of said DNA, researchers and scientists can duplicate and study the DNA. This journal entry explains how PCR technology has the ability to target incredibly specific genes in DNA.

Scientists have developed a DNA piezoelectric sensor that can detect and immobilize certain GMOs. Piezoelectric means that the material creates an electric charge in response to the mechanical stress being applied to it. The sensor uses a single strand DNA probe and immobilizes the probe on the sensor which is made up of a quartz crystal microbalance.

This journal article is about a study done on GMOs in the Republic of Korea. It links climate change and the use of GMOs to reduce the impact on the environment and society. The study shows how the use of genetically modified plants, designed to withstand harsh conditions as well as improved resource yield, can help reduce the negative effects of climate change
