In his commentary on winning public and political regulatory support for safe agricultural products derived from biotechnology, Prof Yılmaz invokes Aesop's fable, posing a metaphorical pro-science tortoise racing against an anti-science hare, concluding that the role of the slow tortoise is the preferred one, as the chelonian, backed by science, plods along to ultimately win the race. If only life were a fairy tale. In countering Prof Yilmaz's conclusion, I'm happy to adopt his tortoise and hare metaphor in illustrating the problems the agbiotech communities, both private and public, industry and academic, encountered in real life.
期刊介绍：
GM Crops & Food - Biotechnology in Agriculture and the Food Chain aims to publish high quality research papers, reviews, and commentaries on a wide range of topics involving genetically modified (GM) crops in agriculture and genetically modified food. The journal provides a platform for research papers addressing fundamental questions in the development, testing, and application of transgenic crops. The journal further covers topics relating to socio-economic issues, commercialization, trade and societal issues. GM Crops & Food aims to provide an international forum on all issues related to GM crops, especially toward meaningful communication between scientists and policy-makers.
GM Crops & Food will publish relevant and high-impact original research with a special focus on novelty-driven studies with the potential for application. The journal also publishes authoritative review articles on current research and policy initiatives, and commentary on broad perspectives regarding genetically modified crops. The journal serves a wide readership including scientists, breeders, and policy-makers, as well as a wider community of readers (educators, policy makers, scholars, science writers and students) interested in agriculture, medicine, biotechnology, investment, and technology transfer.
Topics covered include, but are not limited to:
• Production and analysis of transgenic crops
• Gene insertion studies
• Gene silencing
• Factors affecting gene expression
• Post-translational analysis
• Molecular farming
• Field trial analysis
• Commercialization of modified crops
• Safety and regulatory affairs
BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
• Biofuels
• Data from field trials
• Development of transformation technology
• Elimination of pollutants (Bioremediation)
• Gene silencing mechanisms
• Genome Editing
• Herbicide resistance
• Molecular farming
• Pest resistance
• Plant reproduction (e.g., male sterility, hybrid breeding, apomixis)
• Plants with altered composition
• Tolerance to abiotic stress
• Transgenesis in agriculture
• Biofortification and nutrients improvement
• Genomic, proteomic and bioinformatics methods used for developing GM cops
ECONOMIC, POLITICAL AND SOCIAL ISSUES
• Commercialization
• Consumer attitudes
• International bodies
• National and local government policies
• Public perception, intellectual property, education, (bio)ethical issues
• Regulation, environmental impact and containment
• Socio-economic impact
• Food safety and security
• Risk assessments
