U.S. scientists seeking to avoid using pesticides in controlling soybean aphids are considering genetically modifying soybeans to prevent aphid damage.
Iowa State University Professors Bryony Bonning and Allen Miller say if their research is successful, soybeans will carry in-plant protection from aphids, similar to the way genetically modified corn now keeps the European Corn Borer from reducing corn yield Read More!Iowa State faculty attract $7.7 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grants

ISU researchers study insecticide-free method for control of soybean aphids
AMES, Iowa - Two Iowa State University researchers are examining a new method of controlling soybean aphids without the use of chemical pesticides.
Bryony Bonning, professor of entomology, and Allen Miller, professor of plant pathology and director of the Center for Plant Responses to Environmental Stresses, are looking at a way to genetically modify soybeans to prevent damage from aphids.
