The development, popularization and application of transgenic agricultural products related to the food safety and ecological safety. It has already become the focus of the topic of social because of its significance of survival and development. In fact, a controversy is fierce and long between anti-transgene and pro-transgene.

Scientists have knowledge and special technical, responsibility and ability to verify the safety of transgenic agricultural products. Through the analysis of the mainstream scientists on the cognition and evaluation of transgenic agricultural products, this can help us to deeply understand the roots of transgenic argument, to know transgenie technique and its products objectively.
