The importance  of ecological issues was heightened in 1982 with the  proposal by researchers to field test bacteria engineered  to reduce crop losses due to frost damage. Additional  pressures have come to bear as a result of developments in  the economics of American agriculture and with foreign  trade imbalances. In this special report OTA analyzes some  of the scientific and public opinion issues surrounding the  planned introduction of genetically engineered organisms  into the environment. Descriptors : genetics, risk genes,  vaccines, agriculture, field tests; Open-ended terms :  biotechnology, genetic engineering, science policy,  technology assessment, recombinant DNA;.},
