英文文献：Consumer Acceptance Of Gmo Cowpeas In Sub-Sahara Africa-撒哈拉以南非洲消费者对转基因豇豆的接受程度

英文文献摘要：
Cowpea is the most important indigenous African grain legume for both home use and as a cash crop. Because of its tolerance to drought it is especially important for the Sahel. Genetic transformation of cowpea with Bachilius Thurengius (Bt) genes to control pod boring insects has many advantages, but little is known of the potential consumer response. This paper analyzes and reports the results of a survey of 200 consumers in northern Nigeria in early 2003 concerning consumer awareness of and acceptance of biotechnology. Ninety percent of the respondents were aware of GM products. Those respondents who were most concerned about the ethics of genetic transformation were likely to disapprove of such products, while those individuals who identified international radio as an information source were more likely to approve of GM technology.
豇豆是最重要的非洲本土谷物豆类作物，无论是家庭使用还是作为经济作物。由于它对干旱的耐受性，它对萨赫勒地区尤为重要。利用Bt基因对豇豆进行基因改造以控制蛀荚昆虫有很多优势，但对潜在的消费者反应知之甚少。本文分析和报告了2003年初对尼日利亚北部200名消费者进行的关于消费者对生物技术的认识和接受程度的调查结果。90%的受访者知道转基因产品。那些最关心基因转化伦理的受访者很可能不赞成这类产品，而那些将国际电台作为信息来源的人更可能赞成转基因技术。
