Microbial Genes Provide High Glyphosate Resistance and Low Glyphosate Residues in Maize

Researchers from the Biotechnology Research Institute in the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences have successfully developed a new bio-breeding resource for glyphosate-resistant (GR) maize by introducing the microbial genes GAT and GR79-EPSPS. Herbicide tolerant crops, including glyphosate tolerant crops, offer an innovative solution that can help farmers in weed control management. Million hectares of farmlands are affected by weed infestation yearly all over the world. If left untreated, weed infestation can result in a significant decrease in crop production and yield.
