Nature backtracks over GM maize controversy
2002
K. Mantell
The journal Nature has disowned a paper that it published last year, which suggested that transgenic DNA from genetically modified (GM) maize had been found in wild varieties of the crop in Mexico. In a statement the journal said that “in the light of the criticisms and advice from referees, Nature has concluded that the evidence available is not sufficient to justify its publication of the original paper.”The authors, however, stand by their original finding that one in 100 wild maize cobs had genes from GM crops, and add that other studies by the Mexican government confirm their results.[summary of SciDev.Net article]
