eng Abstract: Application technologies are considered genetic engineering in agriculture with the introduction of genetically modified crops (GMCs) are constantly creating new opportunities to increase crop production and to solve problems in agriculture, such as diseases, pests, weeds, abiotic stresses and nutritional limitations. These are formed, and the plants having new properties that enable their use in pharmaceutical manufacturing. As the GM crops introductions to various locations characterized by a variety of ecosystems, types of agriculture, biodiversity and agriculturally practice, it is necessary to scientific understanding of the effects of growing GM crops on the environment, which will provide security and environmental sustainability. The most important research she focused on the invasiveness of the GM crops, vertical and horizontal gene transfer, the impact on biological diversity and on other products. These tests are very complex multi, inter and transdisciplinary. This article discusses some of the most important problems related to the application of the technology of genetic engineering in agriculture and the introduction of GM crops into the environment, such as plant protection, ecological effects of horizontal gene transfer, biodiversity, stress, the effects of land etc. INOVAEDUCATION 2018 vol. 2 br. 1 str. 86-103 info:eu-repo/semantics/article http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode application/pdf 407876 bytes APPLICATION OF GENETIC ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY IN AGRICULTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Key words:genetically modified crops (GMCs), еnvironment, plant protection, HRCs, HTG, gene flow.
