the introduction of genetically modified (GM) insect and herbicide resistance, with
about 80 % of global cotton being GM by 2012. That experience of research and
deployment of these first-generation GM traits provides the foundation for devel-
opment and exploitation of GM novel fiber property traits in the future.
