Japanese scientists have achieved a major breakthrough in advancing towards the next generation of genetically modified rice. The new version, they believe, will fight allergies instead of causing them.
According to report in Live Science, the new transgenic rice has been designed to fight a common pollen allergy appears safe in animal studies.
EU Food Safety Not Compromised With Banned GM Maize
A genetically modified strain of maize, banned in some EU countries, poses no risk to health or the environment, the European Food Safety Authority declared on Tuesday.
