OGM: cosa bolle in pentola?

un’opzione tecnologica interessante da adottare anche per l’agricoltura ita-
liana, soprattutto in quei casi in cui non si possano percorrere strade tra- FOCUS
dizionali. Il San Marzano OGM resistente al virus CMV della società ita-
liana Metapontum Agrobios ne è un tipico esempio.
