While biotech companies are trying to extol the many benefits of using GM crops to many farmers, there seems to be a growing concern of its long term effects and for what it may possibly do to the environment at large. For example, scientists have recently conducted an insect resistance review of insects to Bt toxins that are inserted into GM crops like Bt cotton and Bt corn. While GM companies ha Science Nature - GuideTo.Com ...

The debate over GM food still remains unsettled as ever. It has been going on for several years now. Both sides have their own strong points and why they stand firm on that. But while the debate has been going on through various avenues, probably one of the most tightly contested battlegrounds remains to be on the political front. Those for and against GM food have long battling it out in order to Science Nature - GuideTo.Com ...

It seems that the wide use for genetic modification may not just be limited to the agriculture industry. Scientists may now be on the way of using genetic modification in trying to control the spread of diseases through its many carriers. An initial experiment that has already been underway has been using genetically modified mosquitoes in order to control dengue fever. Scientists from a biotech c Science Nature - GuideTo.Com ...

Genetic modification may be a controversial subject to many people, especially those concerning GM food. But the bad press that the technology may have gotten in the last few years have not stopped scientists in the industry to somehow develop new ways to harness its potentials. Just one of the recent advancements that genetic modification may have accomplished involved dairy cows. Scientists and Science Nature - GuideTo.Com ...

Recent news have come out about Australia's plan to test GM wheat on humans. The CSIRO, or Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, Australia's national science agency, is planning to test GM wheat grown in the ACT (Australian Capital Territory) by feeding it on rats and pigs. But along the way it also plans to feed it on human trials. A group of scientists from around the wor Science Nature - GuideTo.Com ...

In an article posted on the Huffington Post, columnist Ronnie Cummins expressed his dismay over a move by organic food markets to include genetically engineered crops in its shelves. "There can be no such thing as 'coexistence' with a reckless industry that undermines public health, destroys biodiversity, damages the environment, tortures and poisons animals, destabilizes the climate, and economic Science Nature - GuideTo.Com ...

A genetically modified eggplant showing some promise of trying to become a food crop in developing countries is actually found to be toxic, according to an independent scientific report. Bt brinjal, the name for the genetically modified eggplant developed by Monsanto of the US and Mahyco of India, has been confirmed to cause reproductive disorders, liver damage and inflammation when consumed durin Science Nature - GuideTo.Com ...

Farms that grow genetically modified and engineered crops have become more common in many agricultural areas in the US as well as other countries in the Americas. The promise of such plants providing higher yield as well as having lesser chemical footprints in the environment seems to have been its main selling points. But after more than a decade since GM crops have been introduced into commercia Science Nature - GuideTo.Com ...

A preliminary study made by a professor at Purdue University may indicate that the use of either glyphosate or Roundup Ready crops may have a role in a previously unknown organism that may be causing miscarriages and infertility in animals. The preliminary study was made by Dr. Ron Huber, professor emeritus at the Purdue University. The findings, according to the professor, armed with 40 years of Science Nature - GuideTo.Com ...

Researchers from Bristol University in the United Kingdom announced a recent discovery of a relatively new route from which GM genes may escape into the environment. It may further help determine the rate and the range of spread that GM genes may possibly reach and the consequent effects that could arise. What the researchers may refer to "escape" is the possible horizontal gene transfer of GM gen Science Nature - GuideTo.Com ...
