Commercial use of some genetically modified crops could alter the balance of weed species that thrive on British farmland. Such a shift could harm bees and butterflies, warn researchers. Butterfly ...

With a new year just days away, we hope the following list of the top 10 patents of 2025 sparks interest in the state of ...

John Cushman knows that succulents have tricks up their sleeves. He believes those tricks could shape the future of farming. Geneticists have long tried to understand the biochemical marvel of the ...

Crops that are genetically modified to be resistant to herbicides could make weeds easier to manage without destroying valuable biodiversity. So says the first trial to compare transgenic and ...

Matthew Willmann (pictured) wants to partner with Cornell scientists to make plant research faster, cheaper and more productive. And he has just the equipment to make those partnerships bloom.

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 ...

By Henry A. Onwubiko“A nation that cannot control its own seeds cannot decide its destiny.” –Captain Ibrahim Troure Genetic engineering, the manipulation of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the hereditary ...

The transgenic papaya “SunUp” was developed in the 1990s and was widely publicized because of its ability to resist the papaya ringspot virus. Although researchers from the Ming group had identified ...

A study of agricultural data from 2011 to 2016 in Illinois, Iowa, and Minnesota suggests that damage to transgenic corn from the western corn rootworm, which has evolved resistance to the insecticidal ...

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 ...

In a bid to resolve a deadlock over the approval of new genetically-modified (GM) crops, EU environment ministers yesterday (14 March) discussed the grounds for allowing member states to decide ...

Researchers have developed a way to improve crop quality without needing to create special genetically modified plants. The new technique relies on a spray that introduces bioactive molecules into ...
