English to Italian: Genetically engineered bacterial blight resistant rice - Riso geneticamente modificato resistente ad avvizzimento batterico
Source text - English Scientists in China are proposing the commercial release of genetically engineered (GE) rice which is resistant to bacterial blight disease. The rice is based on an introduced Xa21 rice gene, which has been isolated from African wild rice.
If the rice is approved for commercial release, it will be the first time that the world’s most important staple food has been genetically engineered and will mean a radical increase in the exposure of the human diet to genetically engineered organisms. Exposing such a large number of people to the risks of GE food in a direct way, and on an unprecedented scale is a very high risk proposal, for which there is no obvious justification.
This paper outlines some of the risks of GE bacterial blight resistant rice, explains why it is unnecessary, and describes alternative, less risky options for solving the problem of bacterial blight in rice crops.

Translation - Italian In Cina gli scienziati stanno proponendo la libera commercializzazione di riso geneticamente modificato (GM) resistente ad avvizzimento batterico. Nel riso è stato trasferito il gene Xa21, isolato da una varietà spontanea africana.
Se a questo riso verrà concessa la libera commercializzazione, sarà la prima volta che l’alimento base più diffuso al mondo verrà geneticamente modificato e questo comporterà un radicale aumento dell’esposizione della dieta umana all’uso di organismi geneticamente manipolati. Esporre un numero così grande di persone ai rischi del cibo GM, con un’operazione così diretta e di proporzioni senza precedenti, è una proposta molto pericolosa, per la quale non ci sono giustificazioni valide.
Questa relazione evidenzia alcuni dei rischi del riso GM resistente ad avvizzimento batterico, spiega perché non sia una soluzione necessaria e presenta delle alternative meno rischiose per risolvere il problema della batteriosi nelle colture di riso.
