Glyphosate herbicide harms even GM glyphosate-tolerant soybeans

 Glyphosate herbicide application stresses GM soybeans – even though they're engineered to tolerate the chemical. Report: Claire Robinson

Scientists have found that spraying with glyphosate-based herbicide triggers unintended effects even in genetically modified soybean varieties resistant to this type of pesticide. They report their findings in a new study published in Environmental Sciences Europe.

The researchers, from GenØk–Centre for Biosafety in Norway and the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) in Brazil, found severe metabolic disturbances in both stacked (multiple transgene) and single transgene trait GM soybeans caused by exposure to a glyphosate-based herbicide.
