摘　　要：In comparison with tech no logical adva nceme nts in other fields,applicatio ns of biotech no logy in agriculture elicit strong,divisive opinions.The polarizing debate over genetically modified orga isms(GMOs),ortransgenic crops,has spanned decades.Oppo-nents have focused heavily on a single trait:herbicide toleranee.Public concern regarding the impacts of herbicides on human health and the environment has overshadowed other applications of genetic engin eering,such as pest resista nee,biofortificati on,and non-browning fruit(Abdallah et al.,2015).We argue that newly developed crops should be judged based on their potential,rather than tainted based on association with unpopular applications.
