The
Roundup Ready soybean, also known as soybean GTS 40-3-2, is a transgenic soybean that has been immunized to the
Roundup herbicide. Since the soybean’s natural
trypsin inhibitors provide protection against pests, the only major problem in soy farming was weeds,
[3]
thus making soybean 40-3-2 revolutionary. According to Dr. Gerhardt
Wenzel, a professor at the Technische Universität in Munich, Germany and
a deputy member of the “Zentrale Komission für die Biologische
Sicherheit” (ZKBS), the
glyphosate
in the herbicide would inhibit the soybean plant’s EPSPS gene, which is
involved in the maintenance of the “biosynthesis of aromatic
metabolites,” and cause the plant to die along with the weeds for which the herbicide was meant.
