Dec 22, 2016 · GM NK603 corn and its corresponding non-GMO corn variety are not substantially equivalent. The GM transformation process caused alterations in both protein and metabolite composition profiles in NK603 corn.
Apr 30, 2023 · The difference between conventional and non-GMO corn is simply a higher level of trait-free purity. This is achieved by seed production practices, farmer production practices, and marketing strategy. Similar to conventional corn, non-GMO corn seed does not contain any intentionally added GM material.
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.
Oct 13, 2003 · As pollen and seeds move in the environment, they can transmit genetic traits to nearby crops or wild relatives. Many self-pollinating crops, such as wheat, barley, and potatoes, have a low frequency of gene flow, but the more promiscuous, such as sugar beets and corn, merit greater concern.

Jun 25, 2012 · Introduced in the mid-1990s, genetically modified (GMO) seeds now produce nearly 90 percent of the field corn in the United States (along with more than 90 percent of the soy and canola). Unlike hybridized plants, which are created through cross-pollination, genetically modified plants have strands of DNA added to achieve desired ...
