2004年美國的路易斯安那州立大學(xué)舉行的首次實地試驗�，F(xiàn)在菲律賓已經(jīng)開始測驗黃金米。但黃金米仍然沒有得到大范圍推廣使用。
發(fā)明人之一，印戈·伯特利庫斯說：“添加了兩個新基因的稻米將于2013年提供使用�！逼渲幸粋�基因提取自玉米，另一個提取自一種土壤細菌。
退休前，伯特利庫斯是瑞士聯(lián)邦理工學(xué)院的一員。他指責(zé)過多的規(guī)定限制了轉(zhuǎn)基因農(nóng)作物的發(fā)展。
反對者說轉(zhuǎn)基因農(nóng)作物和傳統(tǒng)植物的雜交可能會破壞環(huán)境。反對者還質(zhì)疑基因食物食用的安全性。
伯特利庫斯說還從未出現(xiàn)過黃金米對環(huán)境或是人類造成危害的現(xiàn)象。許多農(nóng)業(yè)組織支持這項工程。
也不乏有像包括環(huán)境組織“綠色和平”的研究人員在內(nèi)的批評者的聲音。幾個月前，他們質(zhì)疑黃金米是否能解決維他命A的缺乏。他們說，在亞洲投入轉(zhuǎn)基因稻米可能會永久性改變傳統(tǒng)的稻米品種和野生的原種稻米。
