Decision on GM seeds may be delayed [1]

With the postponement of a crucial meeting of the Genetic Engineering Approval Committee (GEAC) which was to deliberate on field trials of genetically modified seeds, the decision on their commercial release may be delayed further, possibly until the next kharif season.

The proposed 110th meeting of GEAC, scheduled for Wednesday, has been postponed for July 6.
