Abstract:

Biotechnology is beginning to revolutionize agricultural production, especially for grains and oilseeds. Varietal improvements that have resulted in herbicide tolerance and insect resistance are increasing yields and reducing production costs for farmers. The next wave of advances in seed genetics will bring new varieties to the market with characteristics tailored for end-user feeding and food processing. Increased yields and production of end-user-specific varieties will create new challenges for transportation and logistics.
