Transgenic Plants02:50

Transgenic Plants

Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...
Plant Breeding and Biotechnology01:59

Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.

Plant Hormones01:56

Plant Hormones

Plant hormones—or phytohormones—are chemical molecules that modulate one or more physiological processes of a plant. In animals, hormones are often produced in specific glands and circulated via the circulatory system. However, plants lack hormone-producing glands.

Summary

Glyphosate-resistant crops (GRCs) are a rapidly adopted weed management technology, with widespread use in soybeans, maize, and cotton globally. Current patterns suggest continued popularity, often incorporating alternative herbicides and stacked traits for enhanced pest control.

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Science
  • Biotechnology
  • Agronomy

Background:

  • Glyphosate-resistant crops (GRCs) were introduced in 1996, experiencing rapid adoption in soybeans and cotton, with significant growth in maize.
  • GRCs now cover over 74 million hectares across five crop species in 13 countries worldwide.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an updated global overview of hectares planted with GRCs.
  • To analyze current herbicide and tillage use patterns in GRC production.
  • To discuss potential future applications of GRC technology.

Main Methods:

  • Data compilation on global GRC hectares planted.
  • Analysis of herbicide and tillage practices in major GRC-producing countries.
  • Review of current trends and future prospects for GRCs.

Main Results:

  • Soybeans (54.2M ha), maize (13.2M ha), and cotton (5.1M ha) represent the largest GRC areas globally.
  • Significant use of alternative herbicides in GR maize (50%) and cotton (70%), and some tillage in GR crop production (50-70%).
  • USA, Argentina, Brazil, and Canada are the leading countries in GRC adoption.

Conclusions:

  • GRCs are a highly adopted weed management technology, expected to remain popular.
  • Future GRC use will likely involve complementary herbicides and stacked biotechnology traits.
  • Integrated weed management strategies are evolving with GRC adoption.
