China could become first country to grow genetically modified rice

Field trials of two gm varieties of rice called huahui 1 and bt shanyou 63 are to start.
Both contain `bt' proteins from the bacillus thuringiensis bacterium to protect them against the most serious rice pest in china,rice stem borer.
Approval may come in 2011.
