Thanks, that is reassuring. It seems the server is back in action. I hope to
have a printed copy by the end of the week. Over the next two days I hope to
send a bit more info from the patent, which should be possible to access at
http://ep.espacenet.com/
.
In the mean time, one more not so hypothetical "foodcrop of the future" for
practicing the skill of foodsafety evaluation:
-A tomato, with IR, HR and fungal resistance (FR):
IR induced by a geneconstruct comprising Bt-CryIA(b), CaMV.
HR induced by Protoporphyrinogen oxidase or PROTOX,
FR induced by a gene construct with a gene for Phenylalanine Ammonia Lyase
(PAL) and CaMV.
The tomato was sprayed throughout the season with a mixture of Acilluorfen,
Flumiclorac-pentyl and Nipyraclofen.
Also, the seed was coated with a New! "slow release" Novartis formula, a
mixture of thiamethoxam, pyriproxyfen, abamectin and spinosad.
The tomato shows several advantages, one of which is the absence of an
anti-biotic resistance marker gene. Agronomic advantage is increased
pollination and reduced vegetative growth. Consumer advantage is a slightly
prolonged shelflife. We include a recipe for tomatosalad. Cut and slice the
tomatoes, dressing of sunfloweroil, garlic and onion. Do not miss this great
opportunity!
Bon appetit!

Wishing you all a great holiday season and Milleniumchange!
