Europe’s firewall against genetic modification gets a major crack with a new deal on gene-edited crops. Crops tailor-made using new gene-splicing techniques should face fewer regulations than ...

Mushrooms that don’t brown. Wheat that fights off disease. Tomatoes with a longer growing season. All of these crops are made possible by a gene-editing technology called CRISPR-Cas9. But now its ...

It’s safe. It would help farmers deal with drought, support biodiversity, protect the environment and decrease a farms carbon footprint. It would help consumers cope with inflation and pay their food ...

2022 has been a difficult year for European agriculture. We can start with the Russia/Ukraine conflict and how that has changed market conditions and supply chains of certain critical things, like ...

The EU has agreed allow certain foods altered using genetic engineering techniques to be sold without special labeling under ...

Europe’s firewall against genetic modification gets a major crack under a new deal. Crops tailor-made using new gene-splicing techniques should face fewer regulations than genetically modified ...

Hunger and undernourishment are two elements of food insecurity that have plagued Africa for years. And the menace is growing. In 2022, the African region accounted for the highest level of hunger as ...

Steven Broyles, professor and chair of SUNY Cortland’s Biological Sciences Department, will discuss the pressing issues surrounding the role of genetically modified food in global sustainability on ...

Genetically modified squash plants that are resistant to a debilitating viral disease become more vulnerable to a fatal bacterial infection, according to biologists. "Cultivated squash is susceptible ...

Researchers have developed a way to improve crop quality without needing to create special genetically modified plants. The new technique relies on a spray that introduces bioactive molecules into ...

The rise of gene-edited embryos has raised a myriad of ethical questions. It involves altering DNA to prevent disease or even to choose specific traits using a method known as CRISPR. In 2018, Chinese ...
