Abstract

Aesop's famous fable "Tortoise and Hare" taught us tortoise wins by taking slow, steady approach against its fast, overconfident competitor, hare. I propose tortoise strategy is more beneficial, when comes to public perception and zero tolerance, toward modern biotechnology research and development for sustainable food and agriculture in developing countries.

现代生物技术对发展中国家粮食和农业研究的突破。

伊索著名的寓言“龟兔赛跑”告诉我们，乌龟是通过采取缓慢、稳定的方式战胜它的快速、过度自信的竞争对手兔子而获胜的。当涉及到公众认知和零容忍时，我认为乌龟战略对发展中国家可持续粮食和农业的现代生物技术研究和开发更有益。

期刊介绍： GM Crops & Food - Biotechnology in Agriculture and the Food Chain aims to publish high quality research papers, reviews, and commentaries on a wide range of topics involving genetically modified (GM) crops in agriculture and genetically modified food. The journal provides a platform for research papers addressing fundamental questions in the development, testing, and application of transgenic crops. The journal further covers topics relating to socio-economic issues, commercialization, trade and societal issues. GM Crops & Food aims to provide an international forum on all issues related to GM crops, especially toward meaningful communication between scientists and policy-makers. GM Crops & Food will publish relevant and high-impact original research with a special focus on novelty-driven studies with the potential for application. The journal also publishes authoritative review articles on current research and policy initiatives, and commentary on broad perspectives regarding genetically modified crops. The journal serves a wide readership including scientists, breeders, and policy-makers, as well as a wider community of readers (educators, policy makers, scholars, science writers and students) interested in agriculture, medicine, biotechnology, investment, and technology transfer. Topics covered include, but are not limited to: • Production and analysis of transgenic crops • Gene insertion studies • Gene silencing • Factors affecting gene expression • Post-translational analysis • Molecular farming • Field trial analysis • Commercialization of modified crops • Safety and regulatory affairs BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY • Biofuels • Data from field trials • Development of transformation technology • Elimination of pollutants (Bioremediation) • Gene silencing mechanisms • Genome Editing • Herbicide resistance • Molecular farming • Pest resistance • Plant reproduction (e.g., male sterility, hybrid breeding, apomixis) • Plants with altered composition • Tolerance to abiotic stress • Transgenesis in agriculture • Biofortification and nutrients improvement • Genomic, proteomic and bioinformatics methods used for developing GM cops ECONOMIC, POLITICAL AND SOCIAL ISSUES • Commercialization • Consumer attitudes • International bodies • National and local government policies • Public perception, intellectual property, education, (bio)ethical issues • Regulation, environmental impact and containment • Socio-economic impact • Food safety and security • Risk assessments
