Significance of Research With the development of plant molecular and cellular biology, many of the transgenic crop plants transformed with recombinant genes encoding desirable traits are commercially available. It is a promise of the second green revolution of agriculture through industrialization. Most of the currently available transgenic plants are made through nuclear transformation, which suffer low level of transgene gene expression in the nuclei. Dissemination of transgenic pollen, another consequence of nuclear transformation, is considered as one of the most serious threats to the environment. Transformation of maternally-inherited plastids is thus considered as a better choice. Prokaryotic environment of the plastid also provides major advantage for the high level expression of bacteria-originated transgenes. Recent progress made in the rice genomics provides a choice for plastid transformation. The technology can be directly applied to the garlic system as well.

Extractions: Science, Policy, and Social Issues Sheldon Krimsky and Roger Wrubel Probing the profitable new science of creatingand alteringlife forms "Extraordinarily well documented . . . remarkably clear. This is the most comprehensive coverage of these issues to date. It will be required reading for some time." Lawrence Busch, Michigan State University "Krimsky and Wrubel not only describe the components of agricultural biotechnology, they address and analyze controversies involving the risks and benefits of new technologies. Coverage of technical to social components of agricultural biotechnology is unusually complete and thorough. Their even-handed and comprehensive approach to these topics is rare and extremely valuable." Richard Weinzierl, University of Illinois Modern agriculture is being transformed by the genetic alteration of seeds, animals, and microorganisms, a process that has produced such products as flavor saver tomatoes and crops resistant to specific insects or herbicides. Agricultural Biotechnology and the Environment is the first comprehensive overview of the ongoing transformation of agriculture, exploring the impact of genetic engineering from scientific, social, ethical, and ecological perspectives.

UNL's AgBiosafety For Educators
Perhaps most important is the perception that agricultural biotechnology,indeed biotechnology in general, represents a large unknown risk.
http://agbiosafety.unl.edu/perception2.shtml

Extractions: A substantial amount of information has already been collected about European perceptions of biotechnology. Unfortunately, the information is often contradictory, making generalizations difficult. For example, in one survey the public viewed pharmaceutical production in animals as acceptable, but viewed genetic engineering of animals as unacceptable (Boulter 1997). Northern Europe (England, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Denmark, Austria). In general, northwestern European countries have a relatively well-educated public who perceive high risks from biotechnology and raise ethical objections to its use. However, most citizens in these countries accept biotechnology (Zechendorf 1994). The British had an average acceptance and risk perception rate, but the acceptance rate for food applications of genetic engineering was lower. Denmark had the highest perceptions of risk but also had above average acceptance of biotechnology when compared to other European countries. The German public was strikingly different from most of the other countries. Although the citizens are the most knowledgeable about biotechnology in Europe, they had the second highest perception of risk and lowest support. Generally, the greater the level of knowledge and education, the greater the support for biotechnology (Torgersen and Seifert 1997, Zechendorf 1994). Germany, Denmark, and Austria are exceptions to this pattern. Torgersen and Seifert (1997) suggested that past experiences with Nazi totalitarianism and eugenics may contribute to the low support for biotechnology in Germany and Austria because of the public association of biotechnology with eugenics.

Extractions: GENERAL FACTS ABOUT AGRICULTURE Twenty two million American workers produce, process, sell and trade the nation's food and fiber. But only 4.6 million of those people live on the farms slightly less than 2 percent of the total U.S. Population. Consumers spend $547 billion for food originating on U.S. farms and ranches. Of each dollar spent on food, the farmer's share is approximately 23 cents. The rest are for costs beyond the farm gate: wages and materials for production, processing, marketing, transportation and distribution. On average, every hour, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, around $6 million in U.S. agricultural productsgrains, oilseeds, cotton, meats, vegetables, snack foods, etc., will be consigned for shipment for export to foreign markets. It all means more jobs and higher wages across the nation. U.S. agricultural exports generate more than $100 billion annually in business activity throughout the U.S. economy and provide jobs for nearly 1 million workers. Agricultural land provides habitat for 75 percent of the nation's wildlife. Deer, moose, waterfowl and other species have shown significant population increases during the past several years. Ethanol and new bio-diesel fuels made from corn and other grains are beneficial to the environment and promote energy security.

Extractions: Washington File Staff Writer "Misinformation about the so-called dangers posed by biotechnology is threatening lives in Africa," and the European Union is "partly to blame for the situation," charged U.S. Senator Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa). In a March 5 speech to the Congressional Economic Leadership Institute (CELI), Grassley said, "By refusing to adopt scientifically-based laws regarding biotechnology, the EU has fed the myth that biotech crops are somehow dangerous. Ironically," he added, "the European Union itself has approved some biotech crops as safe. At the same time, the European Union has refused to end its moratorium on biotech authorizations, a situation that has led other countries to assume that biotech products are somehow dangerous."

REGULATIONS FOR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS DERIVED FROM BIOTECHNOLOGY

http://www.wspc.com/books/lifesci/3934.html

Extractions: The agricultural industry in Asia is a primary market for the growing number of biotechnology-derived products and genetically modified organisms which are useful in agriculture. Faced with growing populations, limited resources and the promise of better and sustainable yields using biotechnology, agricultural producers are welcoming this new technology. On the other hand, there has been some concern about the safety of agricultural products derived from biotechnology. To address public concern, many ASEAN countries have developed individual biosafety guidelines to regulate the use of such agricultural products. The ASEAN Workshop on Regulations for Agricultural Products Derived from Biotechnology served as a forum for the exchange of ideas and knowledge among ASEAN countries, international regulatory agencies and agri-industry representatives involved in agriculture biotechnology. Eminent agribiotechnologists and regulators from Europe, the USA, the Peoples' Republic of China, Taiwan, Canada, Australia, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Information Systems for Biotechnology (ISB), International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-Biotech Applications (ISAAA), Monsanto, Novartis, AgrEvo, Rhone-Poulenc and Nestlé presented papers on various aspects of biotechnology regulation. In addition, each ASEAN country presented country papers outlining the status of existing regulations on GMOs.
