Article:
Are Roundup-ready ornamentals in our future? Cotton and soybean varieties 
genetically engineered for resistance to glyphosate (Roundup herbicide) 
have become row-crop industry norms. However, the nursery/landscape 
industries have been slower to incorporate such technology into turf and 
ornamentals. This is changing, as Monsanto and Scotts Co. have filed a 
petition to approve a creeping bentgrass genetically engineered to resist 
Roundup damage. If this plant is approved, and becomes accepted by the 
public, one could only guess that genetically engineered ornamentals would 
follow.
