- UPDATE - Thursday, April 7, 2011: The National Research
Council of Canada (NRC) issued a statement to clarify that it has no plans
to research genetically modified (GM) wheat.
- NRC now states: "GM wheat is not an objective of
the NRC wheat program. We will be developing a number of tools that will
be used to reduce the breeding cycle, increase yield and adapt to climate
stresses. GM varieties are not contemplated at this time."
- Hmmm... "GM varieties are not contemplated
AT THIS TIME."
-
- Hopefully, the pressure can be sustained to keep them
from contemplating GM varieties at ANY time.
-
- Go Canada!
