Brett Begemann, Executive Vice President of Monsanto, presented at an investor day on November 8, 2007. He outlined Monsanto's strategic plan to double gross profit from soybeans over the next 5 years through the launch of its Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybean technology. This new technology was shown to provide a 7-11% yield advantage over previous Roundup Ready soybeans. Monsanto planned to launch Roundup Ready 2 Yield on 5-6 million U.S. acres by 2010-2012 and expected it to more than compensate for any competitive offerings in the marketplace.
This study evaluated the effectiveness of applying gypsum at different rates (0, 300, 500, 1000 lbs/acre) on water infiltration rates and crop yields on poorly drained soils in northwest Missouri over four years. The application of gypsum did not increase water infiltration rates or crop yields of corn compared to the untreated check. Educational outreach events were held to communicate the research results to over 250 local growers and discourage the use of gypsum based on the findings.
Engineering C4 rice involves altering rice's photosynthetic pathway from C3 to C4. This would increase rice yields by 50% and improve water and nitrogen use efficiencies. Converting rice to C4 photosynthesis requires changes to leaf anatomy, cell biochemistry, and fine-tuning of the pathways. The process is complex but has evolved independently over 60 times. With coordinated research over 15 years, C4 rice could be delivered to plant breeders to help feed the world's growing population.
Engineering C4 rice could significantly increase yields, water and nitrogen use efficiencies. C4 photosynthesis concentrates carbon dioxide in mesophyll cells before transferring it to bundle sheath cells for carbon fixation. Replicating this two-cell C4 pathway in rice will require altering leaf anatomy, cell biochemistry and gene regulation, which may take over 15 years of research. Key challenges include developing Kranz anatomy and optimizing C4 enzymes in the right cell types through molecular engineering and breeding approaches.

Status of wheat production and food security in MoroccoCIMMYT
Wheat is a staple crop in Morocco, with bread wheat and durum wheat accounting for over 3 million hectares of farmland. Wheat production is highly variable due to dependence on rainfall in drought-prone areas with low precipitation. National wheat production ranges from 10 to 45 million metric tons for bread wheat and 7 to 25 million metric tons for durum wheat. Yields have improved on average 1-2% per year. Research at INRA has developed drought tolerant varieties and integrated crop management practices to boost yields, though technology transfer remains a challenge with low seed replacement rates. Ensuring food security will require strengthening the wheat value chain and adapting production to climate change impacts like increased drought severity
