This report is the first from the on-line GM Contamination Register and reviews cases reported of contamination, illegal plantings and releases of GM organisms, and negative agricultural side-effects of GMOs. […]

Te authors report that pollen-mediated gene flow up to 31 m from Bt maize caused low to moderate Bt toxin levels in kernels of non-Bt maize refuge plants. […] This study announces the results of a three-year study (2002-2005) of the impact of bollworm resistant Bt cotton in Andhra Pradesh in India. The results of the survey revealed that Monsanto hybrids were utter failure compared to the Non-Bt hybrids. […] This briefing reviews the different approaches used to prevent GM contamination and considers their effectiveness and practicality. This is important because ‘biological containment’ is being promoted as a biosafety issue. […] The impacts of agricultural biotechnology are here evaluated in the context of agroecological goals aimed at making agriculture more socially just, economically viable, and ecologically sound. […] New studies show that Roundup, a common herbicide, can have harmful health effects. This has major consequences as the bulk of commercially planted GM crops are designed to tolerate Roundup with its active ingredient, glyphosate, and independent field dat […] There are scientific and safety reasons to be very careful about genetic engineering. This article highlights some of the limitations and gaps of current safety assessment of the new biotechnologies and products. […] Drawing on nine years of US Dept of Agriculture data, Benbrook demonstrates unequivocally that in the first three years of commercial use, the claim of GM proponents was justified. But since 1999 it has not been. […] Signs of trouble are now emerging and the ‘honeymoon period’ for GM crops is coming to a close both in the US and in Argentina. […] This is a study on the gene flow from trangenic oilseed rape to related species, in this case, wild radish. […] |
