Words (and Axes) Fly Over Transgenic Trees
Abstract
ECOLOGYThe battle over genetically modified (GM) crops is being replayed as transgenic trees enter field trials. Forest biotechnologists are coming under fire not only from tree-chopping fringe activists but also from influential environmental groups, which claim that genetically engineered trees may wreak havoc on natural ecosystems and want a moratorium on their use. Hoping to avoid the brouhaha over GM foods, some researchers and companies are reaching out to their critics, while industry groups are launching a new think tank to debate and try to defuse societal issues before they explode.

“However, transgenic crops and also transgenic trees are not readily accepted by the public in many countries (Kaiser, 2001). Therefore, the generation of transgenic tree cultivars for wood or fruit production appears to be not economically reasonable at the moment.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
