ENGINEER A CROP
In this interactive feature from the NOVA/FRONTLINE "Harvest of Fear" Web site, you're the geneticist, with all of the latest technologies at your command. So go ahead. Create your own "supercrop."
SHOULD WE GROW GM CROPS
This FRONTLINE/NOVA: "Harvest of Fear" poll asks users to consider a series of arguments for or against growing genetically modified (GM) crops, and then vote on whether they think GM crops should be grown. A tally of votes is presented at the end so each user can see where other users stand on the issue.
