Notes

What is the story behind how Roundup Ready or Roundup get their names?
What is Roundup Readiness? Roundup Ready refers to a trademarked line of genetically altered crop seeds that are resistant to Roundup. These are referred to as Roundup Ready crops.

ラウンドアップ : Who was the one who invented it?
Glyphosate is the active agent in Roundup, was first discovered as an herbicide in 1970 by Monsanto Chemist John Franz. Pre-emergent herbicides were used in the ag industry in the ag sector at the time. They were applied prior to the weeds or crops appeared. ラウンドアップ to control large numbers of grass weeds and broadleafs was a completely different thing. ラウンドアップ ハイロード (soil inactivation, rapid degradation, etc.) and toxicological qualities (extremely low levels of toxicity to mammals as well as other beneficial species) created it to be a groundbreaking product.

What ラウンドアップ was Roundup first introduced?
ラウンドアップ (r) which is an herbicide with broad spectrum, was first introduced to the market in 1974. It quickly grew to become the top-selling agricultural chemical. Roundup(r) initially, was employed in ditches on railroads and in fields between growth seasons. This allowed farmers the ability to control grasses and broadleafweeds in the soil. In this manner they could lessen the need for tillage and preserve soil structure and lessen soil erosion.

Then came ラウンドアップ .
Monsanto scientists saw the potential benefits that Roundup(r), a recombinant DNA product, might have for farmers after the breakthroughs made in the 1970s. A small team of researchers (Rob Horsch, Steve Rogers and myself) under the direction of Dr. Ernie Jaworski, began working on this problem. The first systems to introduce genes into the plant were developed by this team in the early 1980s. Following that we turned our attention to the development of resistant to viruses, insectresistant and insect-resistant and Roundup-tolerant plants.

It was well-known that Roundup may block the biochemical pathways that plants employ to produce aromatic amino acids. ラウンドアップ for humans and mammals is due to the fact that glyphosate can be quickly broken down by soil microorganisms. Our research had identified both plant- and microbial genetics that conferred more herbicide resistance. Roundup Ready plants were first tested in the field by USDA in 1987. This was a Roundup-resistant tomato crop that was derived from the genetically altered tomato plant. They also showed tolerance to Roundup. A few more years later, the Roundup Ready gene was isolated and identified.

Let's use soybeans as an illustration. We first need to answer two questions. What is Roundup Ready soybeans? How are they made? Roundup Ready Soybeans are genetically engineered soybeans with their DNA modified so that they can withstand the herbicide glyphosate that is the main component in the herbicide, Roundup. ラウンドアップ are resistant to glyphosate because each soybean seed has the Roundup Ready gene injected into it before it is planted. This allows farmers to apply Roundup Ready herbicides to kill weeds but not their crops.

Roundup Ready crop introductions in 1996 had a significant impact on agriculture and agricultural science. Farmers quickly realised the advantages of Roundup resistance, and the adoption rate was extremely rapid (today over 90% of the U.S. soybean, corn, cotton and canola acres use a biotech trait for herbicide resistance). Roundup Ready crops are simpler and enhanced weed control methods, which resulted in higher crop yields. Apart from cutting down on tillage and equipment expenses, Roundup Ready crops also allow for easier harvests because there are less plants. An environmental major benefit has been the increase in conservation cultivation. farmers are able to reduce their the use of energy as well as GHG emissions, and also improve soil structure while preserving soil structure. This was equivalent to removing 28.4 billion kilograms of carbon dioxide out of our atmosphere in 2013, or 12.4 million vehicles off the roads for the year (Source: , PG Economics).
