Are crops developed using biotechnology as safe for the environment as crops developed using traditional breeding practices? Are foods produced using biotechnology as safe to eat as foods produced using traditional breeding practices? ... Links to Other FAQs What is agricultural biotechnology? Agricultural biotechnology is an advanced technology that allows plant breeders to make precise genetic changes to impart beneficial traits to the crop plants we rely on for food and fiber. For centuries farmers and plant breeders have labored to improve crop plants. Traditional breeding methods include selecting and sowing the seeds from the strongest, most desirable plants to produce the next generation of crops. By selecting and breeding plants with characteristics such as higher yield, resistance to pests and hardiness, early farmers dramatically changed the genetic make-up of crop plants long before the science of genetics was understood. As a result, most of today's crop plants bear little resemblance to their wild ancestors. The tools of modern biotechnology allow plant breeders to select genes that produce beneficial traits and move them from one organism to another. This process is far more precise and selective than crossbreeding, which involves the transfer of tens of thousands of genes, and provided plant developers with a more detailed knowledge of the changes being made.

Some Evidence for Bt Cotton Author info Abstract Publisher info Download info ... Statistics Author Info Livingston, Michael J. Storer, Nicholas P. Van Duyn, John W. Kennedy, George G. Additional information is available for the following registered author(s): Michael Livingston Abstract We examine producer behavior, resistance evolution, and returns under alternative refuge requirements in an eastern North Carolina region with multiple corn, cotton, and soybean fields infested by a mobile pest. Returns are highest, pyrethroid sprays occur least frequently, and pyrethroid resistance evolution is delayed most effectively with no refuge requirement. Complying with the current 20% refuge requirement costs the producer $8.67 per cotton acre, or $34.21 per non-transgenic insecticidal (Bt) cotton acre. Returns are highest under each refuge requirement when one-toxin Bt cotton is not phased out; however, removal of the technology at the earliest phase-out date minimizes regional pyrethroid sprays.

Home Biotech Categories Biotech Blog Biotech Forum ... Guestbook Green Biotechnology Green biotechnology which is more commonly known as Plant Biotechnology is a rapidly expanding field within Modern biotechnology. It basically involves the introduction of foreign genes into economically important plant species, resulting in crop improvement and the production of novel products in plants. Use of environment friendly and cost effective alternatives to industrial chemicals such as bio fuels, bio fertilizers and bio pesticides are not only resulting in enhanced crop output, improvement in health and safety standards, these new products are also leading to less environment pollution and use of green technology. The ever increasing demand of agricultural produce has given new impetus to research in the field and has resulted in great benefits for farmers and users alike. Today plant biotechnology encompasses the following main areas of research and application: Plant tissue culture: A technique that allows whole plants to be produced from minute amounts of plant parts like the roots, leaves or stems or even just a single plant cell under laboratory conditions. An advantage of tissue culture is rapid production of clean planting materials. Examples of tissue culture products in Kenya include banana, cassava, Irish potato, pyrethrum and citrus. Plant genetic engineering: The selective, deliberate transfer of beneficial gene(s) from one organism to another to create new improved crops, animals or materials. Examples of genetically engineered crops include cotton, maize, sweet potato, soy beans etc.

Radio TV Shop News ... Podcasts Print Email to a friend Monsanto registers 5 biotechnology crops Tuesday, 4 May 1999 The multinational chemical and seed company Monsanto has registered five biotechnology crops with federal health authorities that may be used in foods coming into Australia. Under new regulations all foods derived from gene technology are required to come under the scrutiny of the Australian and New Zealand Food Authority to ensure they meet public health standards. Monsanto's Nic Tydens says the crops, which include an insect and disease resistant potato and a new variety of insect resistant corn, aren't grown in Australia, but may be found in imported goods. "They'll either appear as, or mostly would appear as ingredients in processed and packaged foods, either as protein isolates in various food, oils, corn syrup, fructose sugar, oils of one sort of another, either canola oil or cottonseed oil or soybean oil," Mr. Tydens said.
