Controversy over GM maize in Peru. Nature, 470, 39(2011). https://doi.org/10.1038/470039d | Journal: | Nature | Abstract: | The INIA analysed the source and quantity of maize imports, records of seed cultivars, their genetic diversity and planting location. Evidence of transgenes was discovered in only some of the poultry grain samples. This finding is not surprising. We believe that the Barranca region today is unlikely to be a primary centre of maize diversity. However, farmers there may be growing maize hybrids and other cultivars that have seeds of foreign origin. El INIA analizó el origen y la cantidad de las importaciones de maíz, los registros de cultivares de semillas, su diversidad genética y el lugar de plantación. Sólo se descubrieron indicios de transgenes en algunas de las muestras de grano avícola. Este hallazgo no es sorprendente. Creemos que es poco probable que la región de Barranca sea hoy un centro primario de diversidad de maíz. Sin embargo, es posible que los agricultores de esa zona estén cultivando híbridos de maíz y otros cultivares con semillas de origen extranjero. |
