Genetically modified squash plants that are resistant to a debilitating viral disease become more vulnerable to a fatal bacterial infection, according to biologists. http://www.physorg.com/news175791854.html Biology Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:50:05 EST news175791854 Fast growing transgenic fish can revolutionise commercial fish farming and relieve the pressure on overexploited fish stocks. But what happens in the natural environment if transgenic fish escape? http://www.physorg.com/news170932031.html Biology Mon, 31 Aug 2009 10:07:48 EST news170932031 The potential of forest biotechnology to help address significant social and environmental issues is being "strangled at birth" by the rigid opposition of some groups and regulations that effectively preclude even the testing of genetically modified trees, scientists argue in a new report. http://www.physorg.com/news165588974.html Biology Tue, 30 Jun 2009 13:56:46 EST news165588974 Researchers may have identified one of the body's earliest responses to a group of parasites that causes illness in developing nations. http://www.physorg.com/news148148414.html Medicine & Health Wed, 10 Dec 2008 16:20:14 EST news148148414 A study in northern China indicates that genetically modified cotton, altered to express the insecticide, Bt, not only reduces pest populations among those crops, but also reduces pests among other nearby crops that have not been modified with Bt. These findings could offer promising new ideas for controlling pests and maximizing crop yields in the future. The report will be published by the journal Science on Friday, 19 September. http://www.physorg.com/news140965624.html Biology Thu, 18 Sep 2008 14:07:04 EST news140965624
