’Gene deleting’ tool could lead to safer GM crops
Scientists from both China and the United States have devised a technique that could prevent the flow of transgenic genes into non-biotech crops — and might end the long-standing debate on terminator genes. The development could free poor farmers from dependence on companies that sell genetically modified (GM) seeds, suggest the researchers. The GM-gene-deletor system successfully removed transgenic genes from the seeds and pollen of GM tobacco.
