> It's genetically modified through artificial and natural selection in sense of naturally occuring mutations in response to environment change. “Conventional” non-GM breeding these days includes methods that induce rapid change by exposure to radiation or chemical mutagens; both because of the randomness of the methods and the weaker regulatory environment, there is a lot less knowledge of what changed are induced outside of the targeted traits that are selected for with these. > Natural process is quite slow and gives you enough time to drop adverse crop Crop development has used artificial process for millenia; the alternative to transgenics isn't “natural process”, it's a wide variety of other artificial processes. |
