brinjal

1 On 18 July, the panel met for the first time in more than a year to consider 15 applications for field trials of GM brinjal, chickpea, cotton, mustard and rice.

2 In 2010, the environment ministry put on hold the commercial planting of GM brinjal, an eggplant variety, equipped with a bacterial gene that thwarts insect pests.

3 He said the moratorium on Bt brinjal would be extended until independent studies establish its safety.

4 India’s getting there with brinjal, China seems to be creeping up on biotech rice.

5 After that, ten times more zealous, I planted beans and sweet potatoes, brinjals and chillies, and they all grew well under my hand, so that we ate even better than we had done before.

6 On August 23 India’s Supreme Court was scheduled to meet and review a report by the latest expert committee tasked with assessing the safety of Bt brinjals.

7 He proudly shows us around the fields, where they grow rice, brinjal, gongura, onions, kohlrabi.

8 In contrast, were Bt brinjal commercialized in India, it could spread the Bt gene among the many different types of wild and cultivated eggplants.

9 The referendum on Bt brinjal was also, in effect, a referendum on Monsanto — despite the company's best efforts to distance itself from the product.

10 This is most attended to where the sugar-cane is cultivated: they have, besides, tobacco, wheat, rice, Indian corn, millet, sweet potatoes, brinjals, and many other vegetables.

11 The bargain has been concluded; it was all about whether the one could give three brinjals or four for one pice.

12 To many in India, embracing Bt brinjal — which has a gene owned by Monsanto Co — also means embracing corporate farming and surrendering some control of the nation's food supply to a powerful foreign company.

13 He says that toxicity data on the crop showed “significant statistical differences” between rats fed Bt brinjal and those given non-GM feed.

14 The report quotes a former official saying that he felt he was pressured by industry and other officials to approve the release of Bt brinjal.

15 Opponents argued that, despite the safety testing—and despite the fact that farmers in India had grown Bt cotton since 2002 with great success—Bt brinjals endangered people's health and the environment.

16 I went to market laden with smooth-skinned brinjals and pumpkins, round and fleshed like young women.

17 There were vegetable plants such as chillies and brinjals.

18 “I will pay you four annas a dozen for brinjals, and six annas each for pumpkins, if they are large.”

19 In the beginning she may not have known, but when I sold her, week after week, one small pumpkin or half a dozen brinjals she must have guessed the truth.

20 Many researchers argue that concerns about pest resistance should not stand between GM crops like Bt brinjals and the rural farmers that sorely need them.
