5 days ago · Food and farming Q&A: The evolving debate about using genetically modified crops in a warming world. Crops that have been “altered” by scientists in a laboratory can be found growing on millions of hectares of farmland around the world. These “genetically modified organisms” (GMOs) are planted extensively across swathes of North and ...
5 days ago · Israeli agrifood startup PoLoPo announces it has initiated the regulatory approval process to grow egg proteins in genetically modified potatoes in the USA.. PoLoPo explains that it has applied for a Regulatory Status Review (RSR) to the US Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service to review its molecular farming platform called Super AA.
5 days ago · The molecular farming pioneer explains that its SuperAA platform leverages proprietary metabolic engineering techniques to grow the revolutionary egg proteins in potatoes. But while derived from genetically engineered plants, the proteins extracted from the tubers do not contain genetic material and are considered non-GMO.
5 days ago · Biotech companies employ various techniques to modify plant genetics, including gene splicing and CRISPR-Cas9. Although various food and health authorities consider them safe, GMOs, like genetically modified foods, may not be completely safe, as they are associated with health risks like allergic reactions, antibiotic resistance, and toxicity.
1 day ago · genetically modified organism (GMO), organism whose genome has been engineered in the laboratory in order to favour the expression of desired physiological traits or the generation of desired biological products. In conventional livestock production, crop farming, and even pet breeding, it has long been the practice to breed select individuals ...

4 days ago · However, there have been few studies to see if populations of these “feral” crop plants can, in fact, survive in the wild long term. In the new study, researchers conducted a large-scale survey of genetically engineered canola populations living along roadsides in North Dakota, repeating a survey they initially conducted in 2010.
