USDA Deregulates Two Lines of GE Corn
March 30, 2016| |
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) announced the deregulation of two lines of genetically engineered (GE) corn on March 23, 2016.
The first line was developed by Syngenta Seeds, Inc. for both insect-resistance and glufosinate-ammonium resistance. APHIS is extending deregulation to this line based on its similarity to a previously deregulated corn line. The second line was developed by the Monsanto Company for resistance to the herbicides dicamba and glufosinate.
The final documents for these deregulations are available at the USDA APHIS website.
