University of the Philippines-Mindanao defends Bt eggplant trials
The University of the Philippines (UP)-Mindanao has denied allegations of violating requirements in its field test of genetically modified eggplant which was uprooted by the city government two weeks ago. In a letter dated Dec. 28, Nilo B. Oponda, acting chancellor of the university, said the order to uproot was not ”based on violation of any of these concerns but only on an administrative lapse, i.e., the lack of posting of the public information sheet.”
