Scientists report in the May 21 Science that they have engineered plants capable of detoxifying lethal doses of the heavily used herbicide glyphosate, while showing no setback in growth. The new genes could help corn, soybeans, and other crops benefit from the herbicide later than before in the growing season without affecting flower and seed development, says the team that published their findings, and field trials are underway.
