APHIS also approved a corn plant developed by Pioneer with resistance to certain insect pests and glufosinate herbicide, and a soybean from Qi Biodesign developed to produce more oleic acid.
Other plants identified as not posing a "plant pest risk" include two types of potatoes with disease resistance - specifically, resistance to potato late blight and potato virus Y. The potatoes were developed at Michigan State.
The pennycress plant was developed by CoverCress, in which Bayer holds a majority share. Pennycress is a potential biofuel feedstock.
