A team of scientists centered at the University of Arizona has discovered that field populations of pink bollworm, the longtime scourge of Arizona farmers, harbor three genetic mutations that confer ...

ITHACA, N.Y. – Crops genetically modified with the bacterium Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) produce proteins that kill pest insects. Steady exposure has prompted concern that pests will develop ...

A pest insect known as bollworm is the first to evolve resistance in the field to plants modified to produce an insecticide called Bt, according to a new research report. Bt-resistant populations of ...

Abelias first came to the United States in the early 1900s from eastern Asia and Mexico, and they have been garden favorites since that time. These are sturdy plants that grow best in full sun to part ...

The US food supply is not in any immediate danger because the problem remains isolated. But scientists fear potentially risky farming practices could be blunting the hybrid's sophisticated weaponry.
