Gourdet  - GMO ?   |Tue, 14 Apr 2009 13:13:37 +0100 Hye ! Thanks to present the huge power of World Community Grid. According this video, there is no information about the biologic application of the rice researchs. This lake of information increase the doubt to make grow directly the best rice species unless searching the compatibility of the grains in natural environment. Will the searched rice be a Geneticly Modified Organism ? I think The answer of GMO question must be published compare to the introduction of such rice grain in yield and potential fecondation with some other natural rice species. Is the consequence of such rice hybrid included in scientist work ? Thanks for your future answer. Ecosmose. Reply 0   0
