GM Corn - Meridian Kinesiology
... Corn has exploded as a result of our dependence upon high fructose corn syrup, as well as its use in ethanol, although corn-based biofuel appears to be on the decline due to its excessive carbon footprint.

Transgenic Plants that Make Non-transgenic Pollen

Actual gene flow, that is, forced outcrossing to a non-GE (wild type) plant, generated only non-GE seeds (with less than 0.03% escapes). PCR analyses and crossi ...
