- Abstract
The article reports on the developments related to agricultural biotechnology. According to the author, Missouri-based Monsanto Co., has dominated the first decade of selling crops with single transgenic trait. But recently, Switzerland-based Syngenta and Iowa-based Pioneer Hi-Bred Ltd. has ventured to introduce crops with multiple traits. Its initial focus will be on corn for North America, which calculates for more than half of the total area of genetically modified crops planted worldwide.
