USA based Monsanto Co - the world's largest seed company - recently announced it is making good headway in the development of herbicide-tolerant wheat, in a move that will undoubtedly push the world's first biotech wheat a step closer to market.
"The grain industry and the wheat industry ... have remained very interested and supportive of biotech advances," said Robb Fraley, Monsanto chief technology officer in a conference call. "A wheat farmer is also generally a corn and soybean farmer and they understand the benefits of the technology."

Polish archaeologists working at Çatalhöyük, a Neolithic settlement in southern Anatolia, Central Turkey have discovered a cache of perfectly preserved grain, the largest so far known in the Middle East.
Çatalhöyük is one of the centres of urbanisation of the earliest farming communities and one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world.

As part of its on-going commitment to provide corn hybrids that offer greater yield potential for growers, American chemical company DuPont Pioneer is tapping into new technologies and areas of scientific expertise.
"Plant breeders are still very important," says Mark Cooper, DuPont Pioneer research director. "Today, however, they can count on help from experts in an array of different fields to make larger genetic gains for growers more efficiently."
