I largely agree with Javier's comments. Although about 50-100 genes code
for the gluten proteins in wheat, the genes that were used to increase
resistance in rice were almost certainly not genes coding for gluten
proteins. I do think, however, that celiac patients have reason to be wary
of what changes are genetically engineered in plants. Working towards proper
labeling seems reasonable.
