Appropriate Regulation of GM Insects
After many years of open discussion and development [1–8], the first genetically modified (GM) insect strains are entering field trials [9,10]. A key engineered trait renders the insects ‘‘genetically sterile’’, such that some or all of their offspring die [11–14]; the insects additionally carry a fluorescent marker gene for easy identification. Such ‘‘genetic sterility’’ transgenes (in genetic...
متن کاملRenegotiating GM crop regulation
in 2010, more than 85% of the corn acre age and more than 90% of the soybean acreage in the uSa was planted with genetically modified (gM) crops (uSDa, 2010). Most of those crops contained trans genes from other species, such as bacteria, that confer resistance to herbicides or tol erance to insect pests, and that were intro duced into plant cells using Agrobacterium or other delivery metho...
متن کاملGM-CSF regulation in eosinophils.
Allergic asthma is characterized by a temporally and quantitatively inappropriate immunologic response. One of the hallmarks of this response is the accumulation of eosinophils in the airway and lung parenchyma, which results in broncho-constriction, lung damage and, ultimately, fibrosis. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) plays a pivotal role in this process by modulatin...
متن کاملRegional focus on GM crop regulation.
THE RECENT MEDIA COVERAGE OF THE DEVELopments in Brazil, China, and Mexico (1–3) demonstrates their emergence as the future developing country forerunners for commercial genetically modified (GM) crops in both the scientific and regulatory arena. The release of GM crops in these countries might result in the unintentional entry of GM seeds into neighboring countries that have not yet harnessed ...
متن کاملEstablishing the appropriate degree of social regulation
set a price for what the regulation produces. In the case of environmental regulation, we need to &now what the value to society of additional pollution reduction will be before we can set the stringency of the standard. the case of health and safety regulations, we need to know what is the value of preventing additional risks to and health. Although one can sidestep these issues in part by on ...
