A survey of China's plant biotechnologists shows that China is developing the largest plant biotechnology capacity outside of North America. The list of genetically modified plant technologies in trials, including rice, wheat, potatoes, and peanuts, is impressive and differs from those being worked on in other countries. Poor farmers in China are cultivating more area of genetically modified plants than are small farmers in any other developing country. A survey of agricultural producers in China demonstrates that Bacillus thuringiensis cotton adoption increases production efficiency and improves farmer health.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Huang, Jikun -- Rozelle, Scott -- Pray, Carl -- Wang, Qinfang -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 Jan 25;295(5555):674-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Center for Chinese Agricultural Policy, Institute of Geographical Sciences and Natural Resource Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Building 917, Datun Road, Beijing 100101, China.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11809972" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
