nnyh for our climatic conditions ", - stressed
Academician.



At the same time, he noted that Russia already has a similar design, but their
further development of the necessary cash infusion. Therefore, "the scientists are asking
Government money, as genetic engineering technologies require unique
reagents and dasgs, "explained Leo Ernst. "If this does not happen, then our
country may be nowhere to foreign countries in this direction, "-
said the academician.



Director Biotehtsentra Academy of Sciences, Academician Konstantin Skryabin said that the Russian
geneticists obtained native species of genetically modified potatoes,
resistant to viral infections and the Colorado beetle. Also come the development of
of modified sugar beet and maize. "In Russia there is no
one hectare of land, which would have grown genetically-modified
plants, "- emphasized the Scriabin. At the same time in our country every year
imported hundreds of thousands of tons of imported genetically modified soybeans
sugar beet and maize, which are used as additives in food
industry and to feed livestock.
