Parallel universes? An EU Commissioner has a meeting of minds with an antibiotech agitator

Article Abstract:

The European Union's Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas and long-time biotech critic Jeremy Rifkin of the Foundation on Economic Trends are proposing a new plant breeding technology called marker-assisted selection (MAS) technology in 2006. MAS is the use of genetic markers that segregate with valuable agronomic traits to rapidly identify crossbred seedlings that contain a specific trait of interest.
