Institute's GM trees cross environmental lobby's grain

The Forest Research Institute has denied environmentalists’ claims that field trials of genetically-modified spruce and pine will wreck export markets for New Zealand timber. The institute received approval from the Environmental Risk Management Authority (ERMA) for field tests of genetically modified spruce and radiata pine early in 2001. The genetically modified saplings were reared in glasshouses. The trials are now at the planting-out stage.
