An analysis of data covering 12 years and 10 U.S. Corn Belt states reveals that farmers suffer economic loss from the overuse of genetically engineered corn designed to combat rootworm pests.

“What doesn’t change is that transgenic traits are designed to protect yield, not increase it,” Elmore says. Trait tools. Single-trait hybrids exist, but stacks dominate the marketplac ...

Transgenic organisms are living beings whose genetic material has been artificially modified by introducing genes from another species. This process, known as transgenesis, allows for the transfer of ...

Genetic engineering in non-human primates has long been limited by the need for virus-based gene delivery methods. Recently, ...

Here, we examine the risk to a natural population after release of a few transgenic individuals when the transgene trait simultaneously increases transgenic male mating success and lowers the ...

With 5.6 million new hectares (35%) of transgenic crops, Brazil supplanted Argentina to become the 2nd largest cultivator. China's transgenic plantings shrank, although biosafety certificates were ...

Researchers are using gene editing techniques to introduce beneficial traits like polled and disease resistance, as well as ...

In this context, the increasing complexity of transgenic plant products, especially those containing metabolically engineered traits, is likely to raise the cost of launching the next generation ...

These lessons should be applied to as-yet undefined new transgenic trait technologies for in-plant protection, said the study's lead author, Ziwei Ye, assistant professor at the School of ...
