Titles of All Reports

arabidopsis_001:
Plants producing a biodegradable polyester were smaller, never produced
seeds and showed severe changes in metabolism.
arabidopsis_002:
Suppression of DHS enzyme in Arabidopsis (a mustard plant) was associated
with enlarged leaves, greater root mass, and enhanced seed yield.
arabidopsis_003:
Overexpression of phytoene synthase gene in Arabidopsis resulted
in delayed germination, increased levels of chlorophyll, and changes in
relative levels of carotenoids.
arabidopsis_004:
Single-site integration of foreign DNA into Arabidopsis showed
rearrangements and deletions of both plant DNA and foreign DNA.
barley_001:
Barley with the transgene for a heat-stable enzyme showed highly variable
levels of the enzyme, an anomalous distribution of expression in the
grain, and dramatically reduced weight of individual grains.
bentgrass_001:
Spread of herbicide-resistance from genetically modified creeping
bentgrass into the wild.
canola_001:
Canola plants over-expressing a bacterial phytoene synthase gene also
had a reduced level of chlorophyll, changed structure of plastids,
changed composition of fatty acids, and delayed germination.
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.
canola_004:
Pigs fed GM canola had reduced daily weight gain and the canola had
higher concentrations of undesirable substances.
dandelion_001:
Dandelions manipulated to have compound leaves showed irregular leaf
form and did not flower.
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.
oat_001:
Insertion of transgenes in oats resulted in modification of both the
transgenic construct and host DNA.
pea_001:
Mice fed with transgenic weevil-resistant peas showed immune reaction
while pigs and chickens had reduced starch digestion.
pineapple_001:
Pineapple plants with transgenes for fungus and herbicide resistance
had altered biochemical make-up.
potato_001:
Potatoes with altered sugar metabolism had changed levels of many
metabolites, some not thought to be associated with sugar metabolism.
potato_002:
Inulin-storing potatoes had higher alkaloid content and pigs fed on them
had reduced daily weight gain.
potato_003:
Potatoes genetically modified to store more starch stored less starch.
potato_004:
Insect-resistant transgenic potatoes had less foliage and altered
levels of leaf-glycoalkaloids.
potato_005:
Potatoes with transgene for virus resistance were variably resistant, and
some lines without the target gene nevertheless became highly
resistant.
rice_001:
Genes escaped from cultivated GM rice to its weedy and wild relatives.
root_nodule_bacteria_001:
Root nodule bacteria with Bt transgene tended to displace
non-manipulated bacteria in legume root nodules.
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.
sugarcane_001:
Sugarcane plants with lectin transgene for stemborer resistance showed
altered growth.
sunflower_001:
Wild sunflowers with transgene for Bt toxin produced more seeds than
normal wild sunflowers.
tobacco_001:
Transgenic tobacco with resistance to bleaching herbicides had altered
composition of carotenoids.
tomato_001:
Tomato plants overexpressing phytoene synthase gene were stunted in growth.
tomato_002:
Flavonol-enriched tomatoes had altered levels of at least fifteen other
substances.
tomato_003:
Suppression of DHS gene in tomatoes
was associated with lack of fruiting, altered leaf morphology, higher
rate of photosynthesis and other changes.
tomato_004:
Transgenic tomatoes altered with a marker gene construct showed
significant changes in morphological and physiological characteristics.
weed_resistance_001:
Increased planting of glyphosate-resistant crops and application of
glyphosate causes increase in glyphosate-resistant weed species.
wheat_001:
Wheat transformed with a high-molecular-weight glutenin gene showed
irregular expression of glutenin and changed its expression levels over
subsequent generations.
wheat_002:
Wheat with transgene for low-molecular-weight glutenin showed anomalies
in glutenin production and some plants had reduced levels of other
storage proteins.
wheat_003:
Spring wheat with scab-resistance transgene was not scab-resistant and
showed localized death of leaf tissue.
wheat_004:
Wheat expressing transgenic glutenin shows reduction in yield, varying
production of glutenin, and altered morphology.
