متن کاملEx post evidence on adoption of transgenic crops: US soybeans
Transgenic crops offer a complex new technology that is not universally dominant over alternatives. Instead, adoption decisions are conditional on incentives associated with alternative technologies and local conditions. These characteristics imply that transgenic crops can be expected to be adopted on a wide scale in existing cultural areas, if incentives are appropriate. Further, considerable...
متن کاملSpecial Section: Transgenic Crops
AFTER centuries of improving crop plants by breeding for desirable traits, agricultural scientists are now using the tools of molecular biology and genetic engineering to develop transgenic plants with the desired genes. Enormous progress has been made over the past decade in our understanding of the highly complex molecular events that occur in plant–pathogen interactions. This knowledge in tu...

متن کاملBacillus thuringiensis: Transgenic Crops
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) crops, genetically modified to express insecticidal toxins that target key pests of corn, cotton, rice, potato, and other crops, have been rapidly adopted and have become dominant fixtures in agroecosystems throughout the world. Due to the constitutive nature of Bt toxin expression, insecticidal proteins may be found in nearly all plant tissues, presenting multiple s...
