摘      要：Dear Editor,The economic benefits of genetically modified(GM)crops have been well-documented in the literature(Huang et al.,2002;Huang et al.,2005;Qiao,2015;Qiao et al.,2016).Previous studies showed that the global economic gain that the GM crops had generated at the farm level approximated 100 billion USD in 1996-2011(Brookes and Barfoot,2013).More importantly,this significant benefit had helped dozens of millions of farmers,with most of them being small poor farmers in developing countries.Given their high profitability and other benefits,GM crops had been widely adopted in the world.By 2015,the cumulative sown area for GM crops reached 2 billion hm2,with GM crops being grown in 28 countries(James,2015).
