US allows GMO study; Alsace trials resume

The decision allows the Department of Agriculture to finish a study to determine if this crop will harm the environment before deciding on whether to approve the seeds for general use. The decision was the first by the US's highest court over genetically modified organism (GMO) crops, one which may have implications for viticulture.
