2013 Laureates - The World Food Prize - Improving the Quality, Quantity and Availability of Food in the World. Statement of Achievement Building upon the scientific discovery of the Double Helix structure of DNA by Watson and Crick in the 1950s, Van Montagu, Chilton, and Fraley each conducted groundbreaking molecular research on how a plant bacterium could be adapted as a tool to insert genes from another organism into plant cells, which could produce new genetic lines with highly favorable traits.
The revolutionary biotechnology discoveries of these three individuals —each working in separate facilities on two continents—unlocked the key to plant cell transformation using recombinant DNA. Un dirigeant de Monsanto remporte le prix Nobel de l’alimentation et de l’agriculture. GMO's. GMO.
