The results obtained in this study showed that for the genetically modified and non genetically modiefied soybean plants caused no change in the soil microbiological activity. It seems to indicate that genetically modified plants do not cause large changes in the biological balance of the environment in which they grow. Transgenic DNA has been deemed to be safe for consumption as it is made up of the same building blocks as plant genomic DNA. Transgenes should remain stable from generation to generation and genetically modified plants should not disturb the biological balance of the environment. Some authors have considered the benefits and risks of transgenic crops in great detail, which can be of importance for further biotechnological advancement.
