• Genetically Engineered Crops in the United States (2014, unknown): “2Plant biotechnology in general and genetic engineering in particular have significantly reduced the time needed to develop improved plant varieties, increasing the range and precision of characteristics incorporated into these new varieties (Fernandez-Cornejo, 2004).”
• Intellectual Property and Consolidation in the Seed Industry (2015, background): “The commercial hybridization of some key commodity seeds resulted in rapidly declining rates of seed saving in the early 20th century: as low as 5% for corn by 1960 (Fernandez-Cornejo, 2004).”
• Conundrums of a complex vector for invasive species control: a detailed examination of the horticultural industry (2010, background): “Mergers and acquisitions in the seed and plant industries serve to increase and consolidate market share and distribution capacity, as well as to acquire access for protected intellectual property of select, high-value crops (Fernandez-Cornejo 2004, Brennan et al. 1999).”
• Research Investments and Market Structure in the Food Processing, Agricultural Input, and Biofuel Industries Worldwide (2012, unknown): “These recent estimates compare with four-fi rm concentration ratios in 1998 of 67 percent for corn, 50 percent for soybeans, and 95 percent for cotton (Fernandez-Cornejo, 2004).”
• Pesticide Use in U.S. Agriculture: 21 Selected Crops, 1960-2008 (2014, background): “During the same period, cotton yields rose nearly fourfold, and soybean yields increased more than threefold (Fernandez-Cornejo, 2004).”
• The Contribution of Breeding to Yield Advances in maize (Zea mays L.) (2005, background): “In the United States, for example, today’s crew of maize breeders (broadly defined to include those who work in biotechnology applied to plant breeding) is many times larger than the crew that made advances during the first two or three decades of hybrid maize breeding (Crosby et al., 1985; Duvick, ”
