Application for Controlled Release of GM Clover in Australia
January 9, 2009| |
Australia’s Office of the Gene Technology Regulator received an application for license from the Victorian Department of Primary Industries for the limited and controlled release of white clover genetically modified (GM) to resist infection by Alfalfa mosaic virus. The trial aims to evaluate the agronomic performance, including seed yield, of the GM white clover line under field conditions. It will be conducted on one site in the local government area of Corowa, New South Wales between March 2009 and August 2011.
