  • Are GMOs good or bad?

    Do GMOs affect your health? GMO foods are as healthful and safe to eat as their non-GMO counterparts.
    Some GMO plants have actually been modified to improve their nutritional value.
    An example is GMO soybeans with healthier oils that can be used to replace oils that contain trans fats..

  • How has Roundup Ready soybeans been genetically modified?

    Genetic engineering
    The version used in genetically modified crops was isolated from Agrobacterium strain CP4 (CP4 EPSPS) that was resistant to glyphosate.
    The CP4 EPSPS gene was cloned and inserted into soybeans..

  • How is corn made to be Roundup Ready?

    Roundup Ready plants carry the gene coding for a glyphosate-insensitive form of this enzyme, obtained from Agrobacterium sp. strain CP4.
    Once incorporated into the plant genome, the gene product, CP4 EPSP synthase, confers crop resistance to glyphosate..

  • How long have GMOs been around?

    1973: Biochemists Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen develop genetic engineering by inserting DNA from one bacteria into another. 1982: FDA approves the first consumer GMO product developed through genetic engineering: human insulin to treat diabetes..

  • What foods have been genetically modified?

    What GMO crops are in the United States?

    Corn: Corn is the most commonly grown crop in the United States, and most of it is GMO. Soybean: Most soy grown in the United States is GMO soy. Cotton: Potato: Papaya: Summer Squash: Canola: Alfalfa:.

  • What is a problem with genetically modified crops like Roundup Ready crops?

    Herbicide Resistance
    One of the main concerns about genetically engineered crops such as Roundup Ready crops is the development of weeds and other plants that are also resistant to Roundup (glyphosate)..

  • What is the impact factor of nature biotechnology?

    Abstracting and indexing
    According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2021 impact factor of 68.164, ranking it 2nd out of 158 journals in the category "Biotechnology & Applied Microbiology"..

  • What is the nature of biotechnology?

    A technology using biological phenomena for copying and manufacturing various kinds of useful substances.
    The application of scientific and engineering principles to the processing of materials by biological agents to provide goods and services..

  • For GM plants, the bacterium most frequently used is called Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
    The gene of interest is transferred into the bacterium and the bacterial cells then transfer the new DNA to the genome of the plant cells.
    The plant cells that have successfully taken up the DNA are then grown to create a new plant.
  • Glyphosate is usually associated with GM crops because it is the active ingredient in Roundup.
    A popular GM trait (trait means desired characteristic or "ability" for the plant to do something) is the Roundup Ready trait.
    Contrary to popular belief, a Roundup Ready crop does not contain or produce glyphosate.
  • GMOs (genetically modified foods) are foods that have been genetically engineered in some way, usually in a laboratory.
    Non-GMOs are foods that haven't gone through any sort of genetic modification.
  • Typical Roundup Ready corn grain residues are well below one part per million (ppm).
    Levels this low do not pose any health concerns.
Experiments at one of the remaining UK GM crops sites have been threatened not by protesters but by a tippling fox. The animal took a liking to the alcohol- 
Public antipathy seems set to spread from genetically modified crops to other areas of biological technology. The method renders most seed useless, but 
Self-styled UK eco-warrior Tommy Archer was found not guilty of criminal damage after he destroyed an experimental plot of GM herbicide-resistant oilseed rape 
The research suggests little more than that animals treated with the pesticide, rotenone, might be reasonable models of Parkinson's disease in human. However, 

Does Roundup increase cancer rates?

Monsanto (Bayer AG) continues to argue that Roundup does not increase cancer rates.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) currently takes the position that Roundup has no meaningful risks to human health.
Roundup remains on the market, regardless of multiple studies suggesting glyphosate exposure causes increased cancer rates.

Is Roundup biodegradable and environmentally friendly?

In 2011 the product’s manufacturer, Monsanto, agreed with the New York Attorney General’s office to discontinue their use of the terms “biodegradable” and “environmentally friendly” in ads promoting Roundup.
Why.
Because these terms were false.
Roundup is neither biodegradable nor environmentally friendly.

What is the latest on Monsanto and Roundup?

Monsanto is a large agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology company.
It was acquired by Bayer AG in 2018.
The company is accused of being aware of cancer-causing side effects of its popular Roundup herbicide products, but the company denies that knowledge.
Monsanto and Bayer have failed to adequately warn consumers of the danger.
