The Nature Institute has developed an approach to nature that is contextual, qualitative, and holistic — what we often call “Goethean science,” a mode of inquiry that the poet and scientist Goethe exemplified.

Intended Effect: Fungus Resistance

Pineapple

Pineapple plants with transgenes for fungus and herbicide resistance had altered biochemical make-up.

Wheat

Spring wheat with scab-resistance transgene was not scab resistant and showed localized death of leaf tissue.

GM wheat outcrosses more often than unmodified wheat of the same varieties.
