Pioneer Breaks New Ground in Trait Optimization With "Gene Shuffling" Technology

Few technologies have had a greater impact on agriculture over the past decade than the introduction of glyphosate-resistant seed. Now researchers at Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc., are developing the next generation of herbicide resistant seed, using groundbreaking technology commonly referred to as "gene shuffling." In addition to offering an alternative to current glyphosate-resistant technology, gene shuffling holds the promise of introducing a range of desirable traits to Pioneer seed.
