- Title
Scientists evaluate potential environmental risks of transgenic crops.
- Authors
Ellstrand, Norman C.
- Abstract
The article reports that scientists are evaluating the environmental risks of transgenic crops. Scientists have realized that traditional plant improvement and agriculture have, on occasion, created problems. Environmental biosafety is a new and rapidly developing research area. Scientific studies on the direct impacts of transgenic crops have focused exclusively on the evolution of pests that are resistant to new methods of control.
