| Summary, etc |
The need for genetically modified mustard in India is examined in light of making India self sufficient in rapeased –mustard oil production. Despite a domestic shortage, imparts of rapeseed mustard iol have not increased since the early 1990s due to the blending of the oil with other imparted edible oils. Adopting the dangerously developed GM mustard crop could reduced import dependency, but the higher levels of educe acid levels in India’s GM mustard crop make it harmful for human consumption. From a public health point of view, India should continue oilseed plant breeding programs to develop an indigenous GM mustard crop verity with lower erucic acid levels that meet health standards. – Reproduced |
