Scientists Discover Secret of How to Triple Number of Sorghum Grains |
|
In new research reported by scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL), a simple genetic modification can triple the grain number of sorghum, a drought tolerant plant that is an important source of food, animal feed, and biofuel in many parts of the world. Led by CSHL Adjunct Associate Professor and research scientist with USDA's Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Doreen Ware and ARS colleague Zhanguo Xin, the study focused on high-yield strains of sorghum that were generated several years ago by Dr. Xin.

Ghana CSIR Affirms Safety of GM Crops |
 Genetically modified crops are safer than conventional ones as they go through very rigorous tests and processes over many years before they are released onto the market, a biosafety and environmentalist research scientist at the Crop Research Institute of Ghana's Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has said. Charles Afriyie Debrah said there is no evidence that GMOs have been responsible for diseases adding that they are cheaper, more environmentally friendly and sustainable.
