My understanding is that people opposed to the use of GM crops don't oppose the research itself. They oppose the lack of strong government regulation of these products, as well as the questionable ethics of the corporations who sell them.

At least some (most?) of GM opponents also oppose research on GM crops, such as the "golden" crops where they add vitamin A to the commonly used variety of a crop in a region.
