On March 29, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California granted a preliminary injunction to the California Chamber of Commerce (“the Chamber”), halting new lawsuits by both the State of California as well as private parties seeking to en...

UK scientists to trial genome-edited wheat developed to slash acrylamide levels Scientists from Rothamsted Research – the longest-running agricultural research institute in the world – have used genome editing to develop a type of wheat that is less likely to produce acrylamide when baked. The UK researchers are hoping to take their trials to the next level. The team has applied to the UK’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) to run a fie...

Genome Edited Wheat to Reduce Cancer Risk from Bread and Toast UK Scientists have used genome editing to reduce a cancer-causing compound commonly found in toast. Acrylamide forms during bread baking and its presence is further increased when bread is toasted, and the darker the toast, the more of this carcinogenic compound it contains. Sarah and Nigel with wheat plants Now a team led by Rothamsted Research with colleagues from the University of Bristol have used the new technique of genome edi...
