Biotech Scientists Win in IQ2 Debate on GMOs Section: News from Around the World Intelligence Squared (iq2) Debates hosted a livestreamed debate on Fora.tv about genetically modified food. World Food Prize 2013 laureate Robert Fraley and University of California, Davis scientist Alison Van Eenennaam argued that planting of GM foods should be allowed. On the other hand, Margaret Mellon, formerly of the Union of Concerned Scientists, and Charles Benbrook of Washington State University argued the negative. The argument of the biotech scientists won by huge margin shift in the audience, which changed from 32% to 60% in favor of GM foods. Watch the video at http://fora.tv/2014/12/03/Genetically_Modify_Food.

India's Environment Minister Gives Green Signal to Field Trials of GM Crops Section: News from Around the World India's environment minister Mr. Prakash Javadekar said that there is no scientific evidence that genetically modified (GM) crops are bad for health or environment. In a written response in the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of the Parliament of India, over the queries of the recent decision of GEAC granting approval to field trials, the minister quoted, "GM crops have beneficial traits such as insect resistance and herbicide tolerance, stress tolerance, fungal resistance, disease resistance, salt tolerance, drought tolerance, enhanced yield and nutrition that may help in food security." The minister said that GM crops particularly GM corn, canola, soybean, and cotton are being cultivated and consumed by humans as well as animals in many countries of the world as food, feed and processed products. "There is no scientific evidence to prove that GM crops would harm soil, human health and environment," he said. "In view of various concerns related to the safety, efficacy and agronomic performance of transgenic seeds, extensive evaluation and regulatory approval process takes place before any GM plant is approved for commercial cultivation," he added. He informed that the Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee (GEAC) recently approved 12 GM crops - cotton, rice, castor, wheat, maize, groundnut, potato, sorghum, brinjal, mustard, sugarcane, and chickpea - for experimental field trials for the purpose of generating biosafety data.

Gene for Limiting Arsenic Accumulation in Plants Revealed Section: Research Highlights Arsenic is a carcinogenic element which makes it dangerous for human health. Plants accumulate this element due to its presence in soil and water. Naturally, plants have the ability to control the level of the accumulated arsenic by converting arsenate to arsenite through chemical reduction occurring in the roots. The arsenite is then transported to the shoot through phosphate transport system. This conversion provides the key for the detoxification process of arsenic. A group of international scientists from University of Aberdeen, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing Agricultural University, and Rothamsted Research studied this process to find the gene responsible for it. By the use of genome-wide association mapping in Arabidopsis thaliana, they were able to reveal the gene needed for the conversion process. The scientists named High Arsenic Content 1 (HAC1) as the gene mainly responsible in the chemical reduction process. This gene encodes the enzyme, arsenate reductase, that converts arsenate to arsenite. Removal of this gene in plant causes an increased concentration and accumulated of arsenic levels in the shoots.This further testify the importance of this gene in the conversion process. Identification of this gene is necessary in breeding new varieties of crop with less arsenic accumulation. Read more at http://www.plosbiology.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pbio.1002009.

Vietnamese Farmers Forum on Biotech Crops Section: News from Around the World As the country is gearing up towards possible commercialization of biotech crops, a workshop on "Farmers at the forefront in applying genetically modified crops in Vietnam" was held on December 3, 2014 at the Headquarters of Vietnam Farmer's Union at Rural Today newspaper, Hanoi. Close to 100 research scientists and experts in Vietnam, representatives from different local businesses and industries, and Farmer's Union of provinces and cities, as well as maize growers in the country participated. Dr. Nguyen Duy Luong, deputy chairman of the Central Vietnam Farmer's Association, in his opening remarks expressed his hope that Farmers Union at different levels would get more information about GM crops and its benefits in preparation for the official commercialization of biotech crops in the country.  Journalist Luu Quang Dinh, chief editor of Rural Today newspaper, opined that it is high time that correct and science-based information on biotech crops be known and circulated in the light of the many unfounded issues on the technology. Asian Farmers Network regional chair Mr. Edwin Paraluman and Philippine chair Mr. Reynaldo Cabanao shared their personal experiences on the production and consumption of biotech corn in the Philippines, as well as its contribution to the corn and livestock industry. For more information on this workshop, contact Lê Đức Linh of AgBiotechVN at ldlinh@gmail.com.
