Monsanto writes that these crops are a very important and productive tool for modern and sustainable agriculture.

A cotton farmer in India says they have greatly increased his yield. The Union of Concerned Scientists urges better crop management methods instead.

Higher yields with less pesticides was the sales pitch for genetically modified seeds. But that has not proved to be the outcome in the United States.

A bioethicist says research on a controversial procedure should be permitted with proper monitoring.

Officials want to test genetically modified mosquitoes built to blunt the spread of dengue and Zika, but many Key Haven residents fear the experiment more than the viruses.

The bill would require companies to indicate that foods have genetically engineered ingredients, but disagreement remains over how that would be done.

The study was testing the use of genetically engineered cells as a treatment for cancer, which had shown promising earlier results.

The bill would set a national standard for labeling G.M.O. foods, though critics say the system would not be tough enough.

A proposed law would make it unnecessarily difficult to check a label, by requiring the scanning of electronic codes in the store.
