Monsanto’s non-GE drought-resistant cotton only available with other GE traits

He says a variety with more efficient water use will perform better under irrigation and will exhibit a better yield response under stress. ”This will be a huge benefit to growers. We will have a broader base of tests across various environments and regions. Utilizing this testing platform and advances in our molecular breeding program we hope to identify lines that handle tough environmental conditions better.” [...] Conventional breeding remains an integral part of the process. ”That’s the basis of a stronger platform,” he says. But he does not expect conventional varieties to move the market.
