+-   SPAM: GMOs down to the chromosome level on Saturday October 20 2007, @12:05PM Roland Piquepaille

Roland Piquepaille writes "If don't like the concept of 'Frankenfoods,' I have bad news for you. U.S. researchers have developed an artificial chromosome for corn plants. The Chicago Tribune reports that researchers can now make chromosomes to order. These artificial chromosomes are accepted as natural by the plants and passed through generations. As the Monsanto Company bought rights to use this mini-chromosome stacking technology in corn, cotton, soybeans, and canola, I guess we'll soon eat food made from permanently genetically modified organisms (PGMOs?). Read more for additional references and some images of the autonomous maize minichromosomes (MMCs) used by the researchers."
