=========================
Washington, D.C. - A series of court decisions is calling into question the
U.S. Agriculture Department's regulation of genetically engineered crops.

Three rulings challenge the USDA's handling of field trials and its process
to approve the widespread cultivation of biotech crops. Depending on the
government's response, the cases could lead to a slowdown in
commercialization of new transgenic varieties, experts say.
