Environmental Scientists Find Antibiotics, Bacteria, Resistance Genes in Feedlot Dust February 11th, 2015 | Category: Biosafety Science A scientific review of ‘New Plant Breeding Techniques’ recommends that they be subject to a biosafety risk assessment framework developed according to their specific characteristics. […] Item 1 NEW PLANT BREEDING TECHNIQUES AND RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THEIR APPLICATION Michael Ecker […] http://www.genewatch.org/article.shtml?als%5Bcid%5D=575436&als%5Bitemid%5D=575437 This report warns that GM insect factories could spread antibiotic resistant bacteria into the environment, posing a risk to human health. […] A meta-analysis to assess the potential of Bt crops pyramided with two or more toxins to delay pest resistance development has found that the pyramids are less effective than assumed and that cross-resistance often occurs. […] Item 1 OPTIMIZING PYRAMIDED TRANSGENIC BT CROPS FOR SUSTAINABLE PEST MANAGEMENT
A broad community of independent scientific researchers and scholars challenges recent claims of a consensus over the safety of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). […] |
