To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 27 February 2023 to Question 146873 on Neonicotinoids, what the result of the exercise conducted by Rothamsted Research on 1 March on predicted virus incidence was; and whether the threshold for the use...
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 27 February 2023 to Question 146873 on Neonicotinoids, what the result of the exercise conducted by Rothamsted Research on 1 March on predicted virus incidence was; and whether the threshold for the use...
As per the conditions of the emergency authorisation granted in 2023, the seed treatment is only permitted for use if the predicted virus incidence level is 63% or above, as determined on 1 March 2023 by the Rothamsted YV forecast model. The forecast has been run and predicted a virus incidence of 67.51%. Sugar beet seed may therefore be treated with Cruiser SB and distributed to those growers who ordered it.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what information his Department holds on the (a) actual 2017 and (b) budgeted 2018 Rothamsted Research income and expenditure arising from and relating to Rothamsted's strategic framework agreement with Bayer.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what information his Department holds on the (a) actual 2017 and (b) budgeted 2018 Rothamsted Research income and expenditure arising from and relating to Rothamsted's strategic framework agreement with Bayer.
Rothamsted Research is an independent organisation. We do not hold information on Rothamsted’s income and expenditure arising from and relating to their strategic framework agreement with Bayer.

Rothamsted Research is an independent organisation and therefore we are unable to comment on specific procedures that the charity may have in place to ensure the independence of advice. Rothamsted Research receives income from many sources. In the case of research grants received from BBSRC, Rothamsted is subject to Research Councils UK’s terms and conditions (http://www.rcuk.ac.uk/funding/grantstcs/) including adhering to best research practice, data sharing polices and access to research outputs.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if he will publish in full the strategic framework agreement between Bayer and Rothamsted Research.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if he will publish in full the strategic framework agreement between Bayer and Rothamsted Research.
Rothamsted Research is an independent organisation and any framework agreement with Bayer would be a commercial matter between both parties.

Zac Goldsmith:
The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the right hon. Member for North Shropshire (Mr Paterson), has not had any recent discussions with the GM industry, including Monsanto, Bayer and BASF. DEFRA Ministers and officials do however periodically discuss this important issue with a wide range of interested parties. The Government has a science-led policy which recognises that the responsible use of GM crops could provide economic, environmental and other benefits. It will support the planting of GM crops if they pass a robust case-by-case safety assessment.

[holding answer 17 April 2013]: The field trial of wheat with a genetic modification to repel aphids is being undertaken at Rothamsted Research under a grant from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC). It is part of a wider programme of research aimed at making agriculture more sustainable, for example less reliant on insecticides and other inputs. Rothamsted has made an application to DEFRA for an additional autumn sown trial.
The field trial is part of a five BBSRC-funded project with a total value of £732,000. BBSRC has separately provided funding to Rothamsted for additional security measures for the trial after threats to destroy the experiment last summer. Costs to date of this are currently over £180,000.
Accurate figures for the autumn sown trial cannot be provided at this time as the application to DEFRA has not been approved and is subject to independent review and public consultation.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills who holds the patents for the GM constructs encoding (E)-ß-farnesene synthase in wheat covered by release consent granted to Rothamsted Research issued by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in 2011 and funded by the Biotechnology and...

Constructs to be used in wheat (Triticum aestivum) covered by the release consent granted to Rothamsted Research (11/R8/01) by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in 2011 detail “one or both of the following synthetic genes: (E)-ß-farnesene synthase and farnesyl diphosphate synthase.”
Three patent applications explicitly disclosing the use of (E)-ß-farnesene synthase genes (from a variety of sources) in transgenic plants have been identified. None of these mention the use of the gene in wheat and it is
not clear which, if any of them, would be suitable for modifying wheat. The applications were filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty and could potentially result in patents granted in a large number of countries. However, to date only one patent has been granted, in the United States. The holder for this patent is listed as Ceres Inc of California, USA. The other two applications were filed by Keygene NV and Sapphire Energy and Scripps Research Institute.

Constructs to be used in wheat (Thticum aestivum) covered by the release consent granted to Rothamsted Research (11/R8/01) by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in 2011 detail “one or both of the following synthetic genes: (E)-ß-farnesene synthase and farnesyl diphosphate synthase.”
Seven patent applications explicitly disclosing the use of farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase genes (from a variety of sources) in transgenic plants have been identified. None of these mentions the use of the gene in wheat and it is not clear which, if any of them, would be suitable for modifying wheat. Three applications were filed in China, one in Korea, one in the USA and two applications were made under the Patent Cooperation Treaty. The latter two applications could potentially result in patents granted in a large number of countries. However, to date only two patents have been granted, in the United States. The holder for these two patents is listed as Sapporo Breweries Ltd. The other applications were filed by Univ Fudan, Univ Southwest, Korea Kumho Petrochem Co Ltd, Univ Shanghai Jiatong, Sapphire Energy Inc. and Trustees of Southern Illinois University and Univ. Washington.
