Transgenic crops: How genes jump from crop to crop Date: December 1, 2010 Source: University of Arizona Summary: A comprehensive, data-driven statistical model including the surrounding landscape ...

Then there are dozens of tests to determine a transgenic crop’s impact on native plants, pollinators and bird life — not to mention the quality control for human consumption. The amount of ...

The costs of meeting regulatory requirements and market restrictions guided by regulatory criteria are substantial impediments to the commercialization of transgenic crops. Although a cautious ...

It is possible to produce nontransgenic crops from transgenic plants. The transgenic sequence is deleted by tissue-specific or chemically induced excision from plants in the field. An inducible ...

And at worst, they have helped to fuel the rage of opponents of genetic modification, who say that transgenic crops have concentrated power and profits in the hands of a few large corporations ...

Pursue transgenic crops with care, respect - James Ennis, Des Moines Register, July 14, 2009 http://www.desmoinesregister.com/article/20090714/OPINION01/907140335 ...

However, T-DNA is permanently integrated into the plant genome, creating plants labeled “transgenic.” Transgenic plants can be either highly regulated or outlawed. Gelvin said these VirD2 mutant ...

Researchers used genomics to investigate the genetic changes causing resistance to transgenic crops in field populations of the corn earworm, also known as cotton bollworm or Helicoverpa zea.

Over the coming months, charges that transgenic crops pose grave dangers will be raised in petitions, editorials, mass mailings and protest marches. As a result, golden rice, despite its ...

In theory, farmers don’t have to spray pesticide as much or as often on these crops, and therefore pesticide runoff into waterways is much less of a concern. Well, after years of denial ...

With extreme weather squeezing yields, new climate-resilient crop varieties using marker-assisted breeding and artificial ...
