GM crops and equivocal environmental benefits. This paper briefly discusses the risk to the environment of the introduction of genetically-modified herbicide tolerant crops in the UK. B Johnson,A Hope - 《Nature Biotechnology》 被引量: 347发表: 2000年 GM crops : environmental risks and not-...
typically by adding one gene from a close wild relative. The genes confer beneficial traits such as pest resistance, ability to grow in unfavorable or extreme conditions, in some cases can have increased nutrient levels also. The three most common traits developed in GMO crops are: resistance to...
Over the past decade, there have been many research projects conducted to assess the risks posed by GM crops in the environment, especially for gene flow and non-target effects. Using a balanced approach to appraise agronomic benefits ... BL Ma 被引量: 2发表: 2011年 IS GMO "SUSTAINABLE"?
Environmental Benefits For currently commercialized GM crops the environmental benefits as previously pointed out are primarily linked to reductions in pesticide use and to reductions in tillage (Christou & Twyman,2004; Wesseler, Scatasta, & El Hadji,2011). Reductions in pesticide use can lead...
“There are real benefits, and what you’ve got to do is sell the real environmental benefits.” Those in favour of the technology argue that it can increase crop yield and avoid the need for pesticides. But there was widespread public opposition to the introduction of GM food to Britain ...
In a long-term analysis of data gathered over a 20 year period, Kranthi and Stone concluded that while “Bt cotton did make a positive contribution in India”, in particular by reducing predations by the American bollworm, “the technology’s benefits have been modest and largely ephemeral”....
Sustainable supply chain development emphasizes environmental and economic benefits, whereas Industry 4.0 development involves complete system integration and automation. Manufacturing equipment can become self-contained as part of Industry 4.0, allowing it to design, develop, and build items without human in...
as a supposedly independent and prior scientific activity from risk management decision-making which should be based on the scientific risk assessment, but which also takes account of non-scientific considerations such as economic costs and benefits and judgements about what levels of risk could be de...
Although non-target effects of Bt crops in the field have been reviewed (and meta-analyzed) previously [10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17], the current review has several benefits. Many data from European field studies have been published in the last decade, and those data are not covered by ear...
