A study tested whether glyphosate use, transgenic traits, or timing of inoculation with the bacterial vector of Goss's wilt affected disease incidence and yield in sweet corn. Results showed no effect ...

Transgenic corn's suppression of the European corn borer has saved Midwest farmers billions of dollars in the past decade, reports a new study in Science. Transgenic corn's suppression of the European ...

If you want to make corn-based ethanol, one of the first things you need to do is grind up the corn, mix the resulting flour with water and a couple of specialized enzymes, and cook it. The first ...

While there is a lot of skepticism surrounding genetically modified foods, they have helped solve serious problems in agriculture. One example: researchers have now used genetic engineering to make a ...

Researchers have genetically engineered transgenic corn plants that produce enzymes that can turn their leaves and stems into sugar by breaking down cellulose. The plants could lower the cost of ...

When Paul Mitchell, Bill Hutchison and their research partners released a study on the benefits of Bt corn last year, the results raised eyebrows because it pointed toward a win-win situation for ...

Transgenic crops expressing resistance to herbicides were found to be more susceptible to corn diseases especially, Goss's wilt disease. For two decades, transgenic crops expressing resistance to the ...

Scientists have created genetically engineered corn plants that resist a root-destroying larvae by emitting a chemical call for help, summoning a parasite that preys on the larvae. The larvae of the ...

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Genetically modified corn is trickling into Mexico after overcoming years of legal barriers, but where some farmers see the promise of reduced imports others see a threat to ...

URBANA, Ill. - Transgenic crops expressing resistance to the herbicide glyphosate (GR) have been commercialized and planted widely across the U.S. for two decades. The majority of transgenic corn (Bt) ...
