(1/2) Lettuce from #newgeneticengineering ( #NGT ): side effect herbicide tolerance

Using #CRISPR, the vitamin C content was more than doubled. Surprisingly, the lettuce was then also more tolerant to the highly toxic herbicide paraquat.

Using #newgeneticengineering (#NGTs] to manipulate plant flowers so that they can be pollinated by robots?

This is just one of many examples of attempts to genetically modify plant flowers...

Media about #newgeneticengineering in plants:

Lots of opportunities and no risks?

How did such one-sidedness come about in public media discourse? We took a closer look at the coverage in @spiegel.de over the last few years...

(1/2) #geneticallyengineered animals: According to the European Food Safety Authority @efsa.europa.eu, there are no new risks associated with the use of #newgeneticengineering techniques #NGT.

In contrast,...

The @europarl.europa.eu 's Committee on the Environment votes in favour of deregulating #newgeneticengineering:

With the planned deregulation, the #EU is about to hand over its responsibilities for the safe use of the new technologies to free market forces…
