German GM wheat trials approved but site sabotaged
I suspect that seed supplies may be limited since I believe it was a "proof
of concept" evaluation.

All they have to do is find another feild. Surely there are other plots
that
have histories to meet the needs of the trial.

I would suspect that the Syngenta wheat did not contain RR technology.
It
was a plant health/food safety trait.

RR wheat in a ... Syngenta! trial ... Hello?

I merely quote from the source of all knowledge, Marcus
I don't know if the wheat is RR wheat or not.
All the players in GM crops license their technology. The deal won't
work
if
they don't. In China Monsanto gave China license to the BT gene to get
the
right to sell BT cotton there. Monsanto was so much more successful
with
their cotton that China has barred foreign investment in their bio
technology industry early this year.
Monsanto's seed was more expensive than Chinese's BT cotton but
farmers
bought the best seed they could get and it wasn't Chinese.
This year Monsanto has a better BT protien in their cotton than the
first
generation. It won't make me much difference but the guys in the south
were
they have more worm problems will go for it. And they will probably
use
it
in Arizona and New Mexico to see if they can kill out the pink boll
worm.
