Plant infections can now be detected in our crops before they're even visible. By identifying the DNA in spores floating through the air, it's hoped a new technology called AirSeq can help farmers ...

The Donald Trump administration is exerting pressure on India to open up its market to American soyabean and maize, which are ...

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. They ...

GMO crops have had their DNA altered to be more resistant to pesticides and less expensive to produce, but some experts have raised health concerns.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Nearly half of American farms grow genetically modified crops such as Bt corn or glyphosate-resistant (Roundup-ready) soybeans. Peter Goldsbrough, a plant scientist and expert ...

Bt crops are preferred by many because the Bt endotoxin is considered safe for humans, other mammals, fish, birds, and the environment due to its selectivity—it does not harm other organisms ...

In contrast, broad-spectrum insecticides are nerve poisons. Bt crops are cultivated on more than a quarter billion acres annually in dozens of countries due to their safety and effectiveness.

By harvesting wild crops in the bio-diverse hot spot, Israeli scientists are saving and studying their DNA and pinpointing special characteristics that make plants resilient to climate change.

Decisions on GM crops should be taken on the basis of sound science only after incorporating known advances in plant transformation technology.

Refugia would be planted on the edges of non-Bt crops, with the idea that the resistant and non-resistant bugs would interbreed, thus maintaining genetic susceptibility to Bt in the overall population ...

Plant infections can now be detected in our crops before they’re even visible. By identifying the DNA in spores floating through the air, it’s hoped a new technology called AirSeq can help farmers to ...

Researchers at the University of Arizona have discovered field-grown Helicoverpa zea is rapidly evolving resistance to Bt crops.
