Biosensor Types and Their Applications in GMO Detection

Transgenic plants are the important achievements of modern biotechnology in agriculturein recent years that an important part of the world food markets have conquered so thatcultivation of some varieties of plants even is more than their traditional counterpart. Withthe development of transgenic plants in world, tracing and evaluation methods of suchproducts are essential. Using new technologies such as microarrays and biosensors intracing of transgenic food products, due to high analysis speed and concurrent review arevery effective that still are in early stages of development. In case of applying thesemethods, fast analysis of food with less cost is desired. This paper introduces the use ofbiosensors and their application to identify transgenic plants.
