BWhat changed
Koziel and colleagues reported field performance of maize engineered to express an insecticidal protein derived from Bacillus thuringiensis. The study linked a molecular construct with protection against a target insect in field trials.
Scientific scope
Koziel and colleagues reported field performance of maize engineered to express an insecticidal protein derived from Bacillus thuringiensis. The study linked a molecular construct with protection against a target insect in field trials. Scope limitation: This was not the first use of Bt or the first transgenic plant. The particular constructs, insect targets and field conditions matter; one trial does not establish permanent resistance management, every ecological outcome or safety of all engineered crops.
Evidence
Assessment uses the catalogue-linked source evidence for the stated contribution. This was not the first use of Bt or the first transgenic plant. The particular constructs, insect targets and field conditions matter; one trial does not establish permanent resistance management, every ecological outcome or safety of all engineered crops.
