CONTENT OF THE ESSENTIAL MICROELEMENTS IN GENETICALLY MODIFIED AND NORMAL SOYBEAN AND CORN
The article presents the results of studies by the content comparative characteristics of such essential microelements as Cu <sup>2+</sup>, Zn <sup>2+</sup> Mn <sup>2+</sup>, Fe <sup>2</sup> <sup>+</sup> in normal and genetically modified soybeans and corn. The study revealed that the presence of gene structures, artificially embedded into the genome of these species, and the features expression, which they determined, didn’t not affect on the amount of these elements in the grain of these species. It was found that certain differences were accidental and were not statistically probable, while the average value content of these microelements were approaching to the indicators, which were established before in the Kharkiv region.
