Bt eggplants (brinjal) in India
Since 1999 GENET collects and distributes information on various topics in the field of genetic engineering in agriculture, food production and health. With this "Special Topic: Bt Brinjal in India" GENET aims at providing an overview about the debate on development and approval of Bt brinjal in this country, based on our archives.

Indian scientists develop new Bt brinjal, Bt rice and other GE crops
Currently under controlled field trials - the second stage of strict examination of any transgenic seed - genetically modified (GM) drought trait rice would take at least 8 years for commercialisation in India, said
GM rice has already completed polyhouse test - the crop grown under lock and key - successfully which is the first stage of examination. [...] By 2010-11, the test will enter into open field trials under strict government control which will run at least for two years.
