[Fact:] The actual plant breeding work in genetically modified varieties is the same as for conventional varieties, but before this breeding work can start, there is the need for extensive molecular development. It is generally more expensive to develop genetically modified varieties and bring them to market than conventional varieties, because of the additional research and development work, and additional regulatory requirements. But this has little to do with speed -- your original claim. Mwuahahahaha. Additional research and development work that does not take additional time? Not compared with the decades and even hundreds of years of selective breeding that you are comparing it too. Mwuahahahahah yourself! Nyah nyah :-) Additional research and development work that does not take additional time _?_ Are you having a strange turn? No-one said that additional research and development doesn't take extra time. snip So you agree with Novartis, that genetically modified varieties generally take more time to develop than conventionally bred varieties, due to additional research and development work? For field crops, it actually takes less time to introduce the triat since there is often a have a very strong selectable marker associated with it. Do you have an example of this, David? A trait that took less time by conventional methods to introduce into a plant compared with by GM methods? Everyone seems to be asserting this with no examples to back it up. sure...all disease resistance traits molecular markers has cut years off the process |
