1 Current Status of GMO's Small Grains Michael D. Peel

2 Percent of small grain production in GMO varieties Wheat 100% Durum100% Barley100% Oat100% Triticale100% Species created by humans

3 The Real Topic is: Current Status of Transgenic Small Grains Michael D. Peel

4 Percent of small grain production in transgenic varieties Wheat 0% Durum0% Barley0% Oat0% Triticale0% depends on definition

5 No production of transgenic varieties does not mean that genetic transformation of these crops is not being done

6 Transgenic developments in barley Applications to test29 –Product quality16 Storage protein, Heat stable glucanase, Digestibility improved –Marker gene6 Green florescence –Fungal Resistance2 Fusarium resistance –Herbicide tolerance2 Glyphosate –Viral resistance1 BYDV –Other2

7 Transgenic developments in oat Applications to test1 –Fungal resistance (BYDV)

8 Transgenic developments in rice and Russian wild rye Applications to test –Rice123 –Russian wild rye1

9 Transgenic developments in wheat Applications to test204 –Herbicide tolerance125 –Virus resistance26 WSMV, BYDV –Fungal resistance22 Fusarium, Mildew –Agronomic properties22 Nitrogen metabolism altered, Drought –Product quality13 Storage protein, Starch –Marker gene8 –Other1 Pharmaceutical
