An Interdisciplinary Approach to Study the Performance of Second-generation Genetically Modified Crops in Field Trials: A Case Study With Soybean and Wheat Carrying the Sunflower HaHB4 Transcription Factor. [PDF]
Research, production, and use of genetically modified (GM) crops have split the world between supporters and opponents. Up to now, this technology has been limited to the control of weeds and pests, whereas the second generation of GM crops is expected ...

Monarch butterfly and milkweed declines substantially predate the use of genetically modified crops. [PDF]
Significance The recent decline of the monarch butterfly has attracted a great deal of attention. One of the leading hypotheses blames genetically modified (GM) crops, ostensibly because of the impact of GM-related herbicide use on the monarch’s food ...

Correlating Genetically Modified Crops, Glyphosate Use and Increased Carbon Sequestration
In the early 1990s, tillage was the leading form of weed control, with minimum/zero-tillage management practices incapable of long-term continuation. Presently, weed control through tillage has virtually disappeared as cropland management systems have ...

OsCCRL1 is Essential for Phenylpropanoid Metabolism in Rice Anthers
Phenylpropanoid metabolism and timely tapetal degradation are essential for anther and pollen development, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. In the current study, to investigate this, we identified and analyzed the male-sterile mutant, osccrl1 ...

Less hairy leaf 1, an RNaseH-like protein, regulates trichome formation in rice through auxin
The trichomes of rice leaves are formed by the differentiation and development of epidermal cells. Plant trichomes play an important role in stress resistance and protection against direct ultraviolet irradiation.

The psychological perspective on the adoption of approved genetically modified crops in the presence of acceptability constraint: the contingent role of passion. [PDF]
This study contributes to the literature on genetically modified crops by examining the impact of psychological distance on farmer adoption. The existing body of literature suggests that some farmers have the conservative perception to adopt genetically ...
