LEGAL PROTECTION OF NEW GENETICALLY MODIFIED PLANT VARIETIES IN ALGERIA AND INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Genetic engineering is defined as the modern and unconventional biotechnology that is used to modify genetic material. It should be noted that modified plant varieties have emerged in order to achieve food security, diversify breeds, and intensify production. This took place after the development of several biotechnology applications that were mainly aimed at using living systems or their components in the industrial and agricultural sectors.
With this being the case, it was deemed necessary to provide the legal protection for these modified plant varieties at the national and international levels, which is the topic that the present study aims to explore.
