Cry1Ab Protein Triggers Immunogenic and Allergenic Reactions in Mice

A study has found that exposure via nasal inhalation to the Bt protein Cry1Ab produced immunogenic and allergenic reactions in mice. […]

Unexpected Reactions in GM Maize in Response to Environmental Stress

A new study published in the journal PLOS One has demonstrated that gene expression and content of Bt toxin in GM maize cannot be reliably predicted, particularly under stressful conditions. […]

Scientists Back Up WHO’s Classification of Glyphosate as “Probably Carcinogenic”

A scientific commentary on the WHO IARC’s new assessment of glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans” has affirmed the move, highlighting the selection of assessors with no conflict of interest and citing more evidence of the harm of glyphosate. […]

Glyphosate Declared a Probable Carcinogen to Humans by WHO

The WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified glyphosate, the world’s most widely-used herbicide, as “probably carcinogenic” to humans. Glyphosate is also widely used in conjunction with GM crops that are resistant to this herbicide […]

Oxitec’s GM Mosquitoes: A Credible Approach to Dengue Fever?

GeneWatch UK briefing summarizing the concerns related to GM mosquitoes. […]

Study Links Widely Used Pesticides to Antibiotic Resistance

News articles on the issue of antibiotic resistance and the links to commercial formulations of the herbicides glyphosate, 2,4-D and dicamba. […]

Exposure to Herbicides can Cause Change in Bacterial Response to Antibiotics

This study demonstrates that sub-lethal exposure to the herbicides dicamba, 2,4-D and glyphosate can cause bacteria to change their response to antibiotics. […]

Unintended Effects Observed in Stacked GM Maize

A recent study has found unexpected effects in GM maize stacked with herbicide-tolerance and insect-resistant trait, as compared to GM maize with only one of these traits. […]

Herbicide Residues in Roundup-Ready Soybeans Negatively Affect ‘Daphnia’

A recent study has found that glyphosate residues in GM soybean feed negatively affect ‘Dahnia magna’ growth, reproductive maturity and number of offspring, at levels well below permitted limits. […]

Transgenes Found in Small Farmers’ Maize Seed Supplies in South Africa

A study has detected maize transgenes in informal seed supplies of smallholder farmers in Eastern Cape, South Africa, demonstrating the difficulty in preventing transgene flow where crops are grown close by and where seed saving and exchange are common. […]
