Glyphosate and Glyphosate-based Herbicides
Glyphosate and Glyphosate-based Herbicides

Glyphosate is the active ingredient in the herbicide formulations most commonly used on genetically engineered (GE) crops. For nearly a decade, glyphosate has been far and away the most widely and heavily used pesticide in the US and globally. In 2015, US farmers and...

Super Weeds and Herbicide – Tolerant Genetically Engineered Crops
Super Weeds and Herbicide – Tolerant Genetically Engineered Crops

By Belinda Martineau, PhD Some Ag-Biotech history Twenty years ago, before crops genetically engineered to be herbicide-tolerant were commercially available, one of the big concerns environmentalists had about the use of agricultural biotechnology was that it would...

Regulation of Genetically Engineered Foods
Regulation of Genetically Engineered Foods

In the US, genetically engineered (GE) organisms are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the US Department of Agricultural (USDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Since the first commercialization of GE foods, the US National Academy of...

Genetic Engineering: Far-Reaching Biomedical Uses in Modern Society
Genetic Engineering: Far-Reaching Biomedical Uses in Modern Society

Since the discovery of the structure of DNA and of the fact that one could engineer bacteria, plants, and animals using “recombinant” techniques to express genes moved from other organisms, much of biology and genetics research has been transformed. This remarkable...

Top Concerns About Glyphosate Include Birth Defects and Cancer
Top Concerns About Glyphosate Include Birth Defects and Cancer

Glyphosate is the active ingredient in the systemic herbicide formulation Roundup®, as well as in several generic “glyphosate-based herbicides” (GBHs). These herbicides are applied around the world to most of the acres where genetically engineered (GE) crops are...
