... life in surrounding areas. They could interbreed with weeds and produce weeds with unwanted traits, which might make them resistant to herbicides. For example experiments that have involved transgenic oil-seed rape have concluded that insects developed a resistance to plants that have been manipulated to incorporate pesticides. In the issue of genetically engineered crops, underlying concerns are of how safe these ... has been tampering with genes for many years now it is still a process that we are not completely familiar with.
