利用基因工程生产抗虫害的种子已经谈论了15年,现在要有结果了。 世界著名的瑞士桑多斯制药公司下属一子公司取得美国蒙山度化学公司的许可证,经美国政府批准,将出售利用基因工程培养的抗欧洲玉米蛀虫的杂交玉米种子。占有美国玉米种子市场一半的工业巨子“国际先锋杂交种子公司”计划在1997年大量上市。估计这种种子比现在常规种子市价高10％至20％。
The use of genetic engineering to produce insect-resistant seeds has been discussed for 15 years and now there is a need for results. A subsidiary of the world-renowned Swiss pharmaceutical company Sandos obtained a license from Monsanto Chemical Company of the United States. With the approval of the U.S. government, hybrid corn seeds resistant to European corn borer will be sold using genetic engineering. The industrial giant, International Pioneer Hybrid Seed Company, which occupies half of the U.S. corn seed market, plans to go public in 1997. The seed is estimated to be 10% to 20% above the current market price of conventional seeds.
