5 days ago · In the last year, China has approved genetically modified corn and soybean seeds that are higher-yielding and resistant to insects and herbicide. In genetic modification, foreign genes are introduced into a plant. But in gene editing, existing genes are altered to change or improve its performance. It is viewed by some scientists as less risky.
