The Role of Biotechnology in a Sustainable Biofuel Future
(AgBioForum, 2009)
gasoline consumers by reducing gas prices. Current biofuels, therefore, create a trade-off between food and fuel. The demand for agriculture to provide food and fuel to a growing world population creates an imperative for improved agricultural productivity...
The impact of corn rootworm protected biotechnology traits in the United States
(AgBioForum, 2012)
Recently, one type of corn rootworm has developed resistance to a single strain of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) that is genetically engineered into corn seed. This resistance development has occurred in small, localized ...
The Value of a New Biotechnology Considering R&D Investment and Regulatory Issues
(University of Missouri, 2015)
available and the index of yields for those varieties have increased sharply since the 1980s (Brewin & Malla, 2012; Phillips, 2001). Agricultural biotechnology could facilitate further productivity growth in crops such as canola. However, the policies...
The common characteristics of land and water resources to develop agricultural cultivation : a case of a developing nation
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2022)
Indonesia produces rice as a staple crop, but its water resources are limited, resulting in a severe battle for water between industry and agriculture. In many regions, the overexploitation of groundwater has resulted in a significant lack of water...
Cell wall proteome in the maize primary root elongation zone. II. Region-specific changes in water soluble and lightly ionically bound proteins under water deficit
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2007)
Previous work on the adaptation of maize (Zea mays) primary roots to water deficit showed that cell elongation is maintained preferentially toward the apex, and that this response involves modification of cell wall extension ...
