Analysis of the viewpoints of researchers on the use of transgenic products technology in Iran's agricultural research centers

In a situation, where conflicts and contradictions on transgenic products are increasing day by day. Under such conditions, it appears that supplying documentation on the lack of side effects of these products and improving scientific knowledge will lead to a debate about the transgenic products in a rational way, and the only way to eliminate these contradictions is to investigate further on transgenic crops Is. In this regard, the present study was conducted on the basis of qualitative paradigm and using qualitative content analysis to analyze the researchers' views on the application of technology of genetically modified crops in Iranian agricultural research centers. In order to collect the data, a semi-structured interview method with 23 researchers was used with purposeful sampling and snowball sampling. According to the findings of this research, researchers' viewpoints on the use of transgenic technology around three themes, "The individual capability of activity in two institutions of the university and research center", "The impact of technology of transgenic products on occupational development and economic development of the country" And "the impact of political and social flows on the individual".
