WASHINGTON, May 29 (Reuters) - Three genetically engineered corn lines
developed by Pioneer Hi-Bred <A HREF="aol://4785:PHB"><PHB.N></A> have been
approved by the U.S. Agriculture Department for non-regulated status, USDA
said Friday.
The corn lines, 676, 678 and 680, were genetically engineered for male
sterility and tolerance to the herbicide glufosinate.
USDA said in a Federal Register notice it decided to stop regulating the corn
lines after field tests showed the plants do not harm other plants, nontarget
organisms or the environment.
