I am pretty sure Novartis is referring to actual experience from developing actually existing commercial GM varieties, when they say GM varieties generally take a bit more time to develop than new conventionally bred varieties. They have been trying for years and genetic engineering methods got it done when conventional breeding had failed time and time again. See above. It's gone in by either method, however, the development time for commercially available seeds with _Solanum bulbocastanum_ --------- ^^^^^^^^ late blight resistance genetics is just not known. You can't use an unknown development time to exemplify short development time, that ought to be selfevident. You don't need to produce seed snip Sorry, I meant to be understood as talking about seed potatoes there. The point is that the development time for commercially available seed potatoes with _Solanum bulbocastanum_ late blight resistance genetics is not known, since none are commercially available. You can't use an unknown development time to exemplify short development time, that ought to be selfevident. So give us a fecking example of your contention that a new plant characteristic is slower to develop with GM than conventional breeding methods. |
