> LONDON - Crops genetically altered to be resistant to common plant viruses
> risk creating mutant strains of "super-viruses" which could wipe out entire
> farms, a damning research report commissioned by the British government has
> warned. The study was ordered under the government's Genetically Modified
> Organisms Research Programme. It found plants made resistant to common
> viruses could in fact trigger the evolution of more virulent strains which
> could spread throughout the British countryside, said The Independent On
> Sunday. The report was prepared for the Department of the Environment by the
> Scottish Crop Institute.
