Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act
#21
Can you provide a link re nitrogen fixation?

So plants don't actually fix nitrogen - they harbor symbiotic bacterium's that fix nitrogen. Except for golden rice, most gmo traits only incorporate one foreign gene of interest. It would take multiple insertions to acheive a system of nitrogen fixation in a non-leguminous plant.

Note: legumes already host nitrogen fixing bacteria - soybeans for example.

Sounds like a great idea though i've yet to hear anything about this!
