(Corn/Maize). The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), specifically the Plant Biosafety Office, has evaluated the information submitted by Monsanto Canada Inc. regarding the rootworm (Diabrotica spp..) resistant, glyphosate tolerant, corn event MON 88017. The CFIA has determined that this plant with novel traits does not present altered environmental interactions when compared to currently commercialized corn varieties in Canada.

GM Crop Database

Corn line NK603 was developed to allow the use of the herbicide glyphosate as a weed control option in corn. The gene conferring tolerance to glyphosate was introduced via genetic engineering techniques. These techniques enable the developer to express in the corn plant the 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) gene, which is involved in the synthesis of aromatic amino acids. This gene, isolated from Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain CP4 (CP4 EPSPS), encodes a version of the enzyme that is tolerant to concentrations of glyphosate that would normally inhibit the activity of the endogenous corn enzyme. The CP4 EPSPS gene and regulatory sequences controlling its expression were introduced via biolistic particle bombardment. Line NK603 was produced from a proprietary inbred line designated as AW x CW using particle acceleration.

Although these versions are similar in some aspects, they have major differences in terms of how uncertain the science is evaluated, how the severity of consequences is considered and how the costs and risks of precautionary measures are considered. ■Ambiguity of its component elements: The Precautionary Principle is based on the common-sense adage that it is better to be safe than sorry.

Monoculture. A new article published in PNAS warns of, Increasing homogeneity in global food supplies and the implications for food security.

Monoculture

They reviewed crop production worldwide over the last 50 years and found that: “The increase in homogeneity worldwide portends the establishment of a global standard food supply, which is relatively species-rich in regard to measured crops at the national level, but species-poor globally.” In other words, there has been a globalization of crop production, with more nations looking very similar to each other in terms of which crops they grow in what amounts. This has caused a shift to the major energy-dense crops (wheat, corn, rice, potatoes, and sugar) and a relative reduction in more nutrient dense foods.

At the national level, species diversity remains high. This has allowed countries around the world to increase their calorie production to help feed a growing human population.

Abstract Asiatic dayflower is a difficult weed to control with glyphosate, and has become a problem in glyphosate-tolerant soybean and corn for some Iowa farmers. Asiatic dayflower is an annual plant that is widely distributed in the temperate zones of the world. Also, this weed produces aerial dimorphic seeds, a common feature in other weeds belonging to the Commelinaceae.

Asiatic dayflower dimorphic seeds can be described as truncated at one end and the other type described as being concave (i.e. non-truncated). Research investigating the biological and ecological characteristics that gives Asiatic dayflower an ecological advantage in glyphosate tolerant crops is lacking.

AgBioView Archives on Agricultural Biotechnology. Peer Reviewed Publications on the Safety of GM Foods. By Dr. Christopher Preston, Senior Lecturer in Weed Management, University of Adelaide; christopher.preston@adelaide.edu.au Introduction There has been considerable recent comment on the lack of peer-reviewed scientific studies on the effect of GM food and feed on livestock, other animals and humans. A report by Pryme and Lembcke (2003) described 10 such studies. This report and the small number of studies is often quoted by groups opposed to the use of GM crops as justification for banning their use in the food chain. Methods The search strategy I used included the search terms (genetically and modified and food) coupled with crop species with known genetic modifications, including maize, soybean, canola, cotton, potatoes, tomatoes and peas.

GM case could set new rules: Kinnear - Agriculture - Cropping. THE court trial between Kojonup organic farmer Steve Marsh and his neighbour Michael Baxter won’t stop the production of genetically modified (GM) canola in Australia, says Safe Food Foundation director Scott Kinnear. He believes however the landmark legal case may generate better ground rules to improve interaction between organic farmers and their GM canola growing neighbours. Mr Marsh is suing his lifelong neighbour in the Western Australian Supreme Court for $85,000 in damages, allegedly sustained from losing his organic certification when GM canola swaths were detected on his farm in late 2010.
