The construction of a South African knowledge base for environmental management and monitoring of transgenic soybean, maize and cotton
… Africa was ranked as the 8th largest producer of transgenic crops, with 0.5 million hectares planted to maize, soybean and cotton (James, 2005). A need is recognized for environmental scientists to engage with the technology and understand its place in the agroecosystem and broader environment, …

Modeling insect resistance to transgenic corn and cowpea
The global area planted to Bt crops covered over 66 million hectares in 2011. Insect resistance management (IRM) is implemented to protect the efficacy of commercial transgenic crops expressing Bacillus thuringiensis toxins because the benefits of the pest susceptibility to Bt toxins is considered …

Resistance management of western corn rootworm (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in transgenic Bt maize
Transgenic maize producing insecticidal toxins from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) has been used to manage western corn rootworm, a major pest of maize, since 2003. However, this pest rapidly evolved resistance to Bt traits expressed in maize for rootworm management. This research …

The functional analysis of XhLEA3-2 - a LEA_4 from the resurrection plant, Xerophyta humilis
… a molecular level if it is to be implemented in transgenic crops. Currently, the molecular mechanisms of desiccation tolerance are only somewhat understood, and considerable investigation is still required. Xerophyta humilis is a monocotyledonous resurrection plant in which one of the responses …

An Ex Ante Analysis of the Effects of Transgenic Rice on Farm Households’ Nutritional Vulnerability in Bangladesh
… about 8.5 million farmers in 21 countries grew transgenic crops. Transgenic rice has not been commercially released on a large scale, but progress has been made in developing varieties with potential to increase yield and reduce input costs. In this context, this research aims to provide …
