GM cotton decreased pesticide use by two-thirds, produced more yields than conventional cotton, and reduced labor input in Burkina Faso. This is the result of a study conducted by scientists from Oklahoma State University and L'Institut de l'Environnement et de Recherches Agricoles (INERA), Burkina Faso, covering six years of farm survey data.
The USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) released for pre-publication a recommendation to revise the regulations of genetically engineered organisms. According to APHIS, this will be the first extensive amendment of the regulations which were implemented since 1987.
A team of researchers from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis (WUSTL) has developed a new technique to regulate the amount of protein that a particular gene produces. The technique will allow biologists to tinker with genes, whether the goal is to turn cells into tiny factories for medicines, modify crops to grow with limited water, or study the effects of a gene on health.
Studies have been made to optimize the CRISPR/Cas9 system for crop breeding. The main reasons for these studies are the avoidance of transgene integration and reduction of off-target mutations. Zhen Liang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences aimed to develop an efficient genome editing method for bread wheat using CRISPR/Cas9 ribonucleoproteins (RNPs).
