The Executive Director IAR, Professor Ibrahim Abubakar in a presentation summarising the process that leads to the development of the PBR cowpea said the decision to venture into genetic modification in cowpea breeding was as a result of pest infestation that has over the years made cowpea farming difficult as farmers get less for their efforts and even have their lives exposed to danger due to chemical spraying to keep the pest away.

PARIS, Oct 9 (KUNA) -- A UNESCO panel of scientists, philosophers, lawyers and government ministers has called for a temporary ban on genetic "editing" of the human germline, calling for a wide public debate on genetic modification of human DNA.
GENETIC modification of human embryos is "essential" and should be allowed so scientists can better understand basic biology, according to a new report.
So-called RNAi (RNA interference) technology could let farmers alter crops without permanent genetic modification. It could, one day, allow farmers to spray a crop with a drought remedy only when there's a drought.
