Spatio-temporal modelling of crop co-existence in European agricultural landscapes [PDF]
, 2007 The environmental risk of growing genetically modified (GM) crops and particularly the spreading of GM genes to related non-GM crops is currently a concern in European agriculture.

Synergistic engineering of Casδ nuclease for robust genome editing
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.A hierarchical engineering strategy was used to enhance the editing activity of Casδ, yielding an optimized variant termed enCasδ. This variant enables robust genome editing in animal cells and plants, with overall editing performance comparable to that of SpCas9 and other Cas12 nucleases.

Enhancing CRISPR‐Cas12a base editing in plants with LbCas12a variants and introns
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.Intron optimization of LbCas12a‐RRV improves cytosine and adenine base editing efficiency in plants, supports multiplexed and double‐strand break‐free genome modification, and expands precise genome engineering tools for crop breeding and plant functional research. ABSTRACT Cytosine base editors (CBEs) and adenine base editors (ABEs) are powerful tools

Policies for the regulation of coexistence between GM and conventional crops
Pollen-mediated gene flow is one of the main concerns associated with the introduction of genetically modified (GM) crops, since growers of GM varieties normally do not take into account its possible impact on conventional and organic growers therefore ...

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Since the late 1990s, the pesticide industry has undergone a ‘generics revolution’ as the centre of production, and trade has shifted to the global South. China and India have become major producers, capturing Latin American markets from Northern multinationals. As a major pesticide user and a key node in global supply chains, Argentina offers

ADOPTION OF BIOENGINEERED CROPS
Use of crop biotechnology products, such as genetically engineered (GE) crops with input traits for pest management, has risen dramatically since commercial approval in the mid-1990s.

Embedded Pesticide Use: Exploring the Pesticide‐Land Nexus
Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Since the turn of the century, global land grabs, farmland financialization and land‐based food sovereignty movements have returned the land question to the heart of agrarian studies. Meanwhile, abiding interest in pesticides has been reanimated in the face of changes in production, regulation and knowledge of toxicity.

The Activities Of Herbicide Safeners In Wheat (Triticum aestivum L) [PDF]
, 2012 Commercialised herbicide safeners (also known as protectants or antidotes) are synthetic chemicals used to enhance herbicide tolerance in cereal crops.

Biotechnology, environmental forcing, and unintended trophic cascades
, 2009 A long ongoing discussion between scientists and policy decision-makers seems to have entered recently into a new phase. The consequences of release of transgenic crops into the environment are being discussed not only by scientists but also by farmers ...

Potential unlocked: an atlas of cloned wheat genes for genome engineering and breeding
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Strategies for introducing genome edits into a wheat breeding program and their effects on cultivar longevity. Summary Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) production is increasingly threatened by biotic and abiotic stresses. Developing varieties with improved stress tolerance and desirable end‐use qualities is crucial for meeting growing global demand ...
