About 70 years ago early microbial genetic research revealed that inherited phenotypic traits become determined by DNA filaments composed of 4 different nucleotides that are linearly arranged. In the meantime we know that genes, the determinants of specific life functions, are genomic segments...

We examine the strategic incentive for gene holders to vertically integrate with seed companies and chemical input … companies. With homogeneous conventional seeds, we find that a pure bundling strategy (produce the genetically modified seed … and conventional seeds, they may commit to mixed bundling (supply both genetically modified and conventional seed) to …
