Rutgers University scientists inserted a bacterial gene into corn so the crop produces methionine, an essential amino acid. The research is aimed at improving nutrition for South American populations that rely on corn as a staple.
If commercialized, methionine-enhanced corn could reduce the need for synthetic methionine added to feed, a long-term negative for methionine demand, but it is only an early research result with no near-term price effect.
