More than two-thirds of 36 conventional corn, soy and canola seed batches contained traces of DNA from genetically engineered crop varieties in lab tests commissioned by the Union of Concerned ...

One reason is that corn can't seed itself. Its kernels can't get out of the husk, off the cob and into the ground by themselves. Thus seeding is now wholly dependent on human skill and effort.

Ears of corn, with their plump, juicy kernels, bear scant resemblance to the skinny, scrappy ears of the plant from which modern maize was domesticated. Studying DNA Reaps New Insight Into Corn ...

Two ears of buttered corn lie on a plate. Inspect them for just a few seconds, and you’d find some telltale bump or abnormality to tell them apart. If they came from the same kind of seed wit… ...

Fort Collins seed vault preserves world collection of plants The modern-day Noah’s Ark houses more than 850,000 plant seeds, DNA samples from about 160 breeds of livestock ...

Next, we used approximately 10 mg of corn flour in each conical well of a 96-well plate and extracted DNA with 100 µL of QuickExtract Seed Solution as before.
