Debate over a GM rice trial in China.
IN THEIR REPORT “INSECT-RESISTANT GM rice in farmers’ fields: assessing productivity and health effects in China” (29 Apr., p. 688), J. Huang et al. found that farmers growing insect-resistant GM rice obtained higher yields with less use of insecticides than farmers growing conventional varieties. Huang et al.’s methodology does not, however, permit discrimination between two alternative hypoth...
متن کاملThe Impact of Commercialization of GM Rice in China
Since 2009, genetically modified (GM) rice has been approved for commercial use and it is likely that China will become the world leader in large scale commercialization. While China is the world’s leading rice producer, only a small fraction of the crop is exported. Hence, the commercialization of GM rice in China is not likely motivated by the international trade market. Conversion to GM rice...
متن کاملDirect and reverse pollen-mediated gene flow between GM rice and red rice weed
Potential risks of genetically modified (GM) crops must be identified before their commercialization, as happens with all new technologies. One of the major concerns is the proper risk assessment of adventitious presence of transgenic material in rice fields due to cross-pollination. Several studies have been conducted in order to quantify pollen-mediated gene flow from transgenic rice (Oryza s...
متن کاملGreen light flickering for the UK's first GM crop
" GM crops to get go-ahead " The Guardian announced, above a page-one story based on papers leaked from a British cabinet committee. Yet the article itself, by environment correspondent Paul Brown, showed that the headline perpetuated a serious error that has bedevilled and fuelled discussion of genetically modified crops for several years. The government had apparently resolved to allow the so...
