GMOs in Non-Food Crops and Microorganisms
GM plants developed for non-food or non-feed purposes are plants which may be used for a wide range of applications such as the production of: industrial enzymes; raw materials for bio-fuels, paper and starch; medicinal products (such as vaccines and antibodies)

  Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in non-food crops and some microorganisms involve the following:
GMOs in flower production are seen in modified color and extended vase life of flowers.
No. 1
FLOWER PRODUCTION
modified characteristics of trees for higher yield of paper production.
No.2
PAPER PRODUCTION
modified plants to produce pharmaceutical products. 
No.3
PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTIONS
use of modified plants that can assist in the bioremediation of polluted sites.
No.4
BIOREMEDIATION
use of modified microorganisms that can produce enzymes for food processing and medicines. 
No.5
ENZYME AND DRUG PRODUCTION
 Genetic engineering is playing a significant role from diagnosis to treatment of human-dreaded diseases. It helps in the production of drugs, gene therapy, and laboratory researchers.

Studies show some of the potential benefits of GMOs: 
Higher efficiency in farming
Increase in Harvest
Control in fertility
Increase in food processing

POTENTIAL RISKS OF GMOs
Despite the promising claims of GMOs, the opponents of GMOs claim otherwise. For example, there are studies that show a link in the adaption of pesticide-resistant GMO crops to the significant growth of superweeds that became pesticide-resistant, too. This caused additional problems to more than 12 million acres of farms in the United States.
Opponents of GMOs have the following major concerns:
1.)  Since genetic engineering is still a young branch of science, there are inadequate studies on the effects of GMOs on humans and the environment.
 2.) Genetic engineering promotes mutation in organisms whose long term effect is still unknown.
Human consumption of GMOs might have the following effects:

More allergic reactions
Gene mutation

Antibiotic resistance
