Genetically Modified Organisms Research
Genetically Modified Organisms Research is a research topic within Plant Science. Science Explorer counts 14k research works in it since 1950. 19.5% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers explores the impact of genetically modified crops in agriculture, covering topics such as food safety, environmental risk assessment, consumer attitudes, pollen-mediated gene flow, and the adoption of biotechnology in developing countries. It also delves into the economic, health, and societal implications of transgenic plants and examines public perceptions of genetically modified foods.

How concentrated that is
The same countries as shares of everything the list above accounts for. A node where two countries do two thirds of the work and one spread evenly across twelve read alike as a ranking and not at all alike here.
