[Download this page as a PDF] [En Español: 10 mitos sobre los OGMs] GMO stands for “genetically modified organism.” It most commonly refers to organisms—often plants—that have been modified to achieve desired traits, like drought-tolerance and pest-resistance, using recombinant DNA techniques or genetic engineering (GE). It’s a misleading term, since we’ve been modifying the […]

Mexican farmers and scientists speak out against government's anti-biotech agenda - Alliance for Science
The Mexican government’s nonstop attacks on genetically modified (GM) crops — resulting most recently in a ban on GM maize — has fueled concerns among many of the country’s farmers and scientists. Farmers are worried that they may not have access to innovative crop varieties needed in the fields, while scientists are facing severe funding […]

One Step Closer to a Higher Stearate Soybean Oil - U.S. Soy
Researchers utilized a new variation on the TILLING technique, TILLING by target capture sequencing, to map mutations in the complex soybean genome. This technique identified mutations in the GmSACPD genes that lead to stearic acid accumulation in the seed. Mutations in only one of the five genes identified seem to interfere with nitrogen fixing nodules; mutations in three other genes increased stearic acid in the seed, without affecting nodulation.
