6 days ago · Scientists have tested genetically modified potatoes that show promising results in combating late blight, a disease that causes significant crop losses. In field trials, the GMO potato variety Vic.172 showed total resistance to late blight, potentially reducing the need for pesticides.

3 days ago · The British scientific establishment is up in arms over “Frankenstein” foods again, following an experiment that suggested there might be a health risk from genetically modified crops. The work by Dr Arpad Pusztai at the Rowett Institute for Agriculture in Aberdeen found that feeding laboratory rats with genetically modified potatoes was ...
Mar 12, 2024 · Between 1994 and July 2023, several genetically engineered crops and a few genetically engineered animals were developed and approved for food use in at least one county (ISAAA.org GM database). Now there are 386 events (trait and crop or animal species) of genetically engineered (GE or GMOs) approved for food use in at least one country.
Feb 29, 2024 · Author: Lucy ChenEditors: Hwi-On Lee and Misha WichitaArtist: Esther Chen Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are crops altered through genetic engineering to improve their resistance to pests, herbicides, and harsh environmental conditions. While concerns persist about the impact of GMOs on human health, ongoing research has produced a wide range of results, highlighting the complexity of ...
Feb 28, 2024 · Genetically engineered (GE) or genetically modified (GM) foods are produced from plants and animals that have had changes made to their DNA, which introduce or modify genetic traits. Most packaged foods contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs) engineered to be resistant to herbicides and pests; corn, soybeans and canola oil are prime ...
