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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

Scientists are now able to insert the genes of Bacillus thuringiensis, or Bt, into farmers' crops in order to prevent a hostile takeover by pests. But what happens when the pests become resistant ...

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

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.
