GM plant grows insect sex pheromones as alternative to crop pesticides – Genetic Literacy Project
Scientists have discovered how to genetically modify the camelina plant to produce pheromone precursors that can control agricultural insect pests without
Scientists have discovered how to genetically modify the camelina plant to produce pheromone precursors that can control agricultural insect pests without the use of pesticides.Pheromones and other semiochemicals are among the next generation of sustainable insect controls.
