Brown Stuff

[Rakesh Bhandari]

As Carl R kindly reminded me off list, I had in mind a University of
Arizona, not Cornell, study on which a report was filed in the WSJ (5th Ag,
1999). Indeed Carl R had already called attention to it here on LBO talk.

... there is a piece in today's Wall Street Journal that reports on a new
peer-reviewed study that finds GM plants could well trigger resistance
problems
earlier than had been anticipated.  The lead:  "University of Arizona
scientists said some insects might be able to develop resistance to the
biotechnology industry's new bug-proof cotton plants more quickly than
expected.  The peer-reviewed laboratory study, which is being published
in today's issue of the science magazine Nature, signals that some
genetically modified plants might become obsolete sooner than their
inventors had planned."]
