Crop biotechnology: a pivotal moment for global acceptance

Abstract: The development and judicious use of agricultural biotechnology offers important contributions to food security and sustainability. Key contributions include improved yield, heightened pathogen and herbivore resistance, enhanced nutrient content, improved product quality, reduced spoilage, as well as entirely new traits. While a first wave of genetically engineered (GE) crop products…

Design and characterization of spatial units for monitoring global impacts of…

Abstract: This paper describes the design and characterization of a limited number of areas to be used as spatial monitoring and reporting units (MRU) by Crop- Watch, the global crop monitoring system (http://www.cropwatch.com.cn/) hosted by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The MRUs are modified and adapted from an existing standard vegetation zoning map. They are designed to be areas of unifo…
