Rift grows in GM debate
Although first generation genetically modified crops are now the norm in many parts of the world, researchers have failed to convince the public of their benefits and lack of environmental damage in other regions, including Europe. In spite of increasing hopes for the potential in GM crops, particularly in the wake of this year's hike in foodstuff prices, Britain's Prince Charles mounted a stro...
متن کاملGM-free private standards, public regulation of GM products and mass media
This paper provides evidence on private standards on genetically modified (GM) organisms for 44 retailers operating in 54 countries, distinguishing between retailers not using GM ingredients, and retailers using ingredients which are potentially GM in private label products. Using this information, we empirically investigate the drivers that induce retailers to adopting a GM-free private standa...
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 کاملAppropriate 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...
