Terminator technology
Apomictic seed Apomixis is a naturally occurring form of asexual reproduction in which plant embryos grow from egg cells without fertilisation by pollen. Genetic engineers have transferred the genes conferring apomixis from a wild grass species into maize. By using GE apomixis breeders could dramatically reduce the high cost of producing hybrid seed. The ...

Dangers of Genetic Engineering in Agriculture
The Village Voice 1998) Widespread Crop FailureGenetic engineers intend to profit by patenting genetically engineered seeds. This means that, when a farmer plants genetically engineered seeds, all the seeds have identical genetic structure. As a result, if a fungus, a virus, or a pest develops which can attack this particular crop, there ...
