Nov 3, 2022 · Abstract. The development of vaccines from plants has been going on for over two decades now. Vaccine production in plants requires time and a lot of effort. Despite global efforts in plant-made vaccine development, there are still challenges that hinder the realization of the final objective of manufacturing approved and safe products.
Jan 5, 2022 · The change has been several years in the making. In 2016, Congress passed a law to establish a national benchmark for the labeling of genetically modified food in an attempt to give people more ...
Jan 1, 2020 · Abstract. There is broad scientific consensus that all approved foods and feedstuffs that have been derived from genetically modified (GM) plants and fish and from livestock, poultry, and fish fed diets containing GM food products are safe to eat. This conclusion is based on the findings of regulatory agencies and independent scientists and on ...
Jul 12, 2017 · Though at present, transgenic crops are being cultivated over an acreage of 179.7 m ha by 70–80 million farmers in 28 countries across the globe (ISAAA, 2017), still people have many more apprehensions in their minds regarding biosafety, health and environmental risks posed by the consumption and commercialization of genetically modified ...
Nov 14, 2009 · Abiotic stresses such as drought and extremes of temperature commonly reduce both yield and quality of potato. This study investigated the potential to use gene transfer technology to enhance the tolerance of potato to commonly encountered abiotic stresses. Agrobacterium mediated transformation was used to create lines of potato (cv. Desiree) that over-expressed either a wheat mitochondrial Mn ...
Feb 10, 2021 · In fact, the majority of soybeans (more than 90%) grown in the U.S. are bioengineered. These beans typically have herbicide-resistant genes inserted into their genetic structure so that farmers can use herbicides to destroy invasive weeds without harming the soybean plant. These versatile beans may then be used for animal feed, pressed into ...
Nov 4, 2019 · In field tests across corn-growing regions of the United States between 2014 and 2017, they found that the GM hybrids typically yielded 3% to 5% more grain than control plants. Some yielded 8% to 10% more, the team reports this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The benefit held regardless of how good or bad the ...
