UW researchers genetically engineered a switchgrass (foreground) to break down the explosive chemical RDX using genes from a soil bacterium. The researchers also grew a few thousand of the plantlets in the lab to prepare them to be transplanted in the field. From left to right: Ryan Routsong, Long Zhang, Stuart Strand. This photo was taken in 2018.Mark Stone/University of Washington Large swaths of U.S. military land are covered with munitions components, including the explosive chemical RDX. This molecule is toxic to people and can cause cancer. It also doesn’t naturally break down and can contaminate groundwater. ....
Cleaning up military waste with GM grass Genetically modified grass removes toxic military waste, RDX. Switchgrass. Credit: Jacky Parker Photography/Getty Images. A genetically modified common grass can remove toxic military waste from soil, according to a paper published in Nature Biotechnology. A team of researchers, led by Neil Bruce and Liz Rylott from the Centre for Novel Agricultural Products (CNAP) at the University of York, UK, demonstrated that a genetically modified switchgrass ( Panicum virgatum) could detoxify RDX, a military explosive leftover from live-fire training, munitions dumps and minefields. Key research points: Genetically modified switchgrass with two bacterial genes thrived around US military sites. ....
