Commercialized Product
canola_002:
Experimental cross-pollination between
transgenic herbicide-resistant canola and wild field mustard led to
highly fertile, herbicide-resistant wild field mustard.
canola_003:
Transgenes that have escaped from
glyphosate-resistant canola can persist in the wild.
cotton_001:
Bt cotton showed decreased
ability to kill cotton bollworm larvae during flower development and
flowering.
cotton_002:
Bt cotton had altered protein
metabolism and produced less insecticidal toxin in leaves when subjected
to high temperatures during boll formation.
maize_001:
Bt maize has higher lignin
content.
maize_002:
Atlantic salmon fed Bt corn
had altered enzyme activity in liver and intestine as well as altered
proportions and numbers of different white blood cells.
maize_003:
Monarch butterfly larvae exposed
to anthers from Bt maize ate less and gained less weight.
maize_004:
Byproducts from Bt maize enter
streams, and in feeding experiments affected stream insects.
maize_005:
Bt maize varieties matured more slowly and had on average lower
grain yield and higher grain moisture content than conventional varieties.
maize_006:
Bt maize had changed lipid composition in stems; also, lipid
composition in soil was altered, and soil respiration was reduced.
soybean_001:
Herbicide-resistant soybean plants were
shorter, with less chlorophyll, lower weight, and increased susceptibility
to stem-splitting at high temperatures.
soybean_002:
Diet containing glyphosate-resistant
soybeans affected the nuclei of liver cells in mice.
soybean_003:
Glyphosate-resistant soybeans exuded
glyphosate, carbohydrates, and amino acids into the soil and affected
the microorganism soil community.
herbicide-resistant crops in general:
Increased planting of glyphosate-resistant
crops and application of glyphosate causes increase in glyphosate-resistant
weed species.
