(Before It's News)
At Legume Laboratory Blog:
Lately we’ve written a few posts about how crop resistance may be increased in the future. Our
last post covered the development of a material able to pass RNAi protection to crops, and
the one prior to that covered the multitude of sustainable new methods that may play a role in disease management.
This month, the Plant Biotechnology Journal (which is open – thank you Wiley)
published an article looking at a possible way of reducing the evolutionary pressure caused by transgenic crops with one specific method of protection (
Bt cotton in this study) as well as improving protection against pests that have developed resistance…
