Genetic Modification Technology


 

The article by Datta et al.1 (henceforth referred to as 17 authors) states that it deals with negative perceptions of genetic modification technology in general, as also discussed in a recent review by Kesavan and Swaminathan2 (henceforth PCK–MSS paper). The latter publication provides concrete data and valid scientific references for most of the important statements, hence their criticisms are unfounded and invalid.

Abstract


The article by Datta et al.1 (henceforth referred to as 17 authors) states that it deals with negative perceptions of genetic modification technology in general, as also discussed in a recent review by Kesavan and Swaminathan2 (henceforth PCK–MSS paper). The latter publication provides concrete data and valid scientific references for most of the important statements, hence their criticisms are unfounded and invalid.
