Global Pipeline of GM Crops out to 2020 |
 Researchers at the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission have updated a 2008 JRC study that analyzed the global pipeline of genetically modified (GM) crops that were expected in the market in 2015. The paper, published in Nature Biotechnology, describes GM crops in the pipeline from 2008 to 2014, and shows the global situation of GM crops in development, with the objective of describing the medium-term innovations in the food, feed, and industrial sectors.
