| Summary: | Modern biotechnology is a potential technology to be developed in Malaysia. Advancement in molecular genetics
methods such as the recombinant DNA techniques in genetic engineering improves ways to make use of living
organisms to benefit human. From the perspectives of agro biotechnology, the methods which enable the introduction
of genetic material to be integrated into plant genome called Plant Genetic Modified Technology (PGMT). Since
1980s Malaysia enthusiastically worked on the development of Genetically Modified (GM) Crops. However, with
certain barriers and hindrances, the successful development seems unattainable. This study was conducted to explore
the six critical factors and issues which affect the successful commercialization of GM Crops in Malaysia using face
to face and telephone interview which involved ten respondents from eight universities and research institutions in
Malaysia. The data was analyzed using NVIVO computer software. The results from findings, recommendations and
implications to practitioners presented. |
