GM wheat
Next year, for the first time in the UK, GM wheat will be grown.
This is for field trial purposes only, initially. Wheat plants will carry two new genes that lead to the production of a chemical that is known to repel aphids and to attract their natural enemies to the plant.
Pro campaigners see the obvious benefits of this but antis see this as concerning with the possibility of cross contamination and birds carrying the gm seeds off site.
