Genetically modified wheat converts the energy from sunlight
into chemical energy via photosynthesis more efficiently than non-GM crops,
boosting growth as a result.
According to a recently published article on the bbc website, UK researchers have applied for a licence to carry out a trial of a genetically modified wheat crop in a small field in Hertfordshire.
If the government grants permission, the experiment would potentially be the second ongoing field trial in the UK.
A go-ahead would indicate a softening in opposition to outdoor experiments to develop GM crops in Britain.
There is less opposition to GM because there has been a great effort to explain more fully and clearly the potential of GM plants to improve our future.
