How can China prepare for the domestic cultivation of Bt maize?

2018-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Recent documents issued by the State Council of China indicate that China's central government is paving the way to commercial cultivation of genetically engineered (GE) staple crops, with priority on insect-resistant GE (IRGE) maize expressing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) proteins. Multiple Bt maize lines have been developed in China, and their efficacy and benefits to human health and the environment have been de...
