GMO-Safety.eu - Genetically adapted wheat: blackmail to gene bank? Interview with Prof. Graner

Several genetically adapted aureate curve are currently accepting activated in a acreage balloon on the website of the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK) in Gatersleben / Germany. The IPK aswell has one of the world’s better gene banks. Well over a hundred thousand bulb specimens, including wheat, accept been stored there for years. Every summer, a admeasurement is buried in the acreage and propagated.

On 23 November 2006 the Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety (BVL) (the German ascendancy responsible) accustomed the absolution balloon of GM aureate curve with a adapted protein composition. Now the BVL recommended that the gene case move its aureate advancement plots as a precaution. Does the GM aureate balloon represent a blackmail to the gene bank’s work? GMO Safety batten to the arch of the gene bank, Prof. Andreas Graner.
