The article on GM crops areas in 2008 (C&l 2009,4,7) was astonishing as it appeared to rubbish the statistical data reported by the ISAM (International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications) by implying it was at the very least 'misleading'. C&l based its comments on...

There has been a rapid adoption of GM crops by U.S. corn and soybean and Canadian canola producers. Approximately 57 percent of the U.S. soybean harvested acreage in 1999 was in herbicide-tolerant GM varieties (ERS). Soya is a staple in food processing, with approximately 60 percent of ...
(Trial), which for the first time promulgated relevant policies and management measures for gene-editing technology for agricultural use, and clarified the difference between gene-editing products and GM crops management based on the scientific attribute that gene-editing products do not contain ...
Biotechnology Research that I head in an American campus (and there are many like me in biotechnology in US academia and the biotech industry), I am struck by how a small group of Indian activists (with strong Western connections) opposed to biotechnology have been making headlines virtually ...
The commercialization of the first GM corn was hindered by the lack of a GM variety verification method, said Chen Rumei, a researcher with the Biotechnology Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and a member of the team that developed the first GM corn. The two ...
GM technology actually has not increased the production potential of any corp. In fact, studies show that the most crown GM food, GM soybeans, have suffered reduced productivity. For instance, a report than analyzed nearly two decades of research on major GM food crops shows that GM engineer...
Introduction The controversy over genetically modified [GM] organisms is often framed in terms of possible hazards for human health. Entries in a previous volume of thisencyclopediagive a general overview of GM crops (Mulvaney2014) and specifically examine human health (Nordgard et al.2014) and la...
