The Agracetus Campus of Monsanto Company is a soybean transformation laboratory. It has over 21,700 employees worldwide, and an annual revenue of US$11.365 billion reported for 2008. The first successful genetically engineered crop ever produced for the commercial market was the Roundup Ready soybean, produced at Agracetus in 1991, and was one of fourteen successful transformation events. Scientists there used gold bead gene transfer technology coupled with the β-Glucuronidase reporter gene to produce the plant. The actual gun that shot the gold beads and produced the genetic modifications is now owned by the Smithsonian museum in Washington, DC.

  • The Agracetus Campus of Monsanto Company is a soybean transformation laboratory. It has over 21,700 employees worldwide, and an annual revenue of US$11.365 billion reported for 2008. The first successful genetically engineered crop ever produced for the commercial market was the Roundup Ready soybean, produced at Agracetus in 1991, and was one of fourteen successful transformation events. Scientists there used gold bead gene transfer technology coupled with the β-Glucuronidase reporter gene to produce the plant. The actual gun that shot the gold beads and produced the genetic modifications is now owned by the Smithsonian museum in Washington, DC. Every Roundup Ready soybean in the world has a relative which was genetically transformed at Agracetus. 80% of the world's soybeans are Roundup Ready. Agracetus was founded in 1981 as Cetus Corporation. Acquired by Monsanto in 1996, the research and development facility is located 8 miles (13 km) west of Madison in the city of Middleton, Wisconsin, on 4.5 acres (18,000 m2). The site has 100,000 square feet (9,300 m2) of research space, 35,000 square feet (3,300 m2) of greenhouse space, about 75 employees, and ten laboratories. Output of genetically modified soy plants is many thousands of transformation events per year. Genetically modified cotton and genetically modified rice is also an important effort at Agracetus. (en)
  • O Campus Agracetus da Monsanto Company é o maior laboratório de criação de sementes de soja do mundo. Possui mais de 21.700 funcionários no mundo todo, e uma receita anual de 11.365 milhões dólares reportados em 2008. A primeira colheita geneticamente modificada produzida para o mercado comercial foi a soja Roundup Ready, produzida em Agracetus em 1991, e foi um dos catorze eventos de transformação bem-sucedidos. Os cientistas não usaram a tecnologia de transferência dos "genes de ouro" juntamente com o gene "repórter β-Glucuronidase" para produzir a planta. A pistola que disparou os "genes de ouro" e produziu as modificações genéticas, é agora propriedade do museu de Smithsonian em Washington, DC. Cada soja Roundup Ready no mundo tem um parente que foi geneticamente modificado em Agracetus. 80% da soja do mundo são Roundup Ready. Agracetus foi fundada em 1981 com o nome de Cetus Corporation. Adquirida pela Monsanto em 1996, o centro de pesquisa e desenvolvimento está localizado a 8 milhas (13 km) a oeste de Madison na cidade de Middleton, Wisconsin em 4,5 hectares (18.000 m2). O site tem 100.000 pés quadrados (9.300 m2) de espaço de pesquisa, 35.000 pés quadrados (3.300 m2) de espaço de efeito estufa, cerca de 75 funcionários, e dez laboratórios. A produção de plantas de soja geneticamente modificadas é de muitos milhares por ano. Algodão geneticamente modificado e arroz geneticamente modificado é também um importante produto da Agracetus.
