Dear Friends and Colleagues
Re: Field-resistance of the African maize stem borer to Bt maize
We are pleased to highlight the attached TWN Biosafety Briefing entitled ‘Field-resistance of the African maize stem borer to Bt maize: What did we learn?’ It discusses the rapid development, in South Africa, of field-resistance of the African maize stem borer to Bt maize, and the lessons that should be learnt.
This paper was presented at the Scientific Conference 2012 jointly organized by the European Network of Scientists for Social and Environmental Responsibility (ENSSER), Third World Network and Tara Foundation, ‘Advancing the Understanding of Biosafety: GMO Risk Assessment, Independent Biosafety Research and Holistic Analysis’, held on 28-29 September 2012 in Hyderabad, India, and was first published in the Conference Proceedings.
With best wishes,
