| The case of Quist and Chapela's finding of transgenes in GM maize, described in the book, is just one example among many that have been reported, and we have no way of knowing how many others there have been that never came to light. CIMMYT estimates it will be possible to produce lines containing effective transgenes within five years with the goal of providing them to farmers in countries that face drought and crop shortages. Data suggest that complete containment of transgenes within alfalfa-seed--or hay-production fields would be highly unlikely using current production practices," the researchers commented in their 2000 paper. |
