ST. LOUIS -- A U.S. District Court today denied efforts to certify an antitrust class-action suit levied against Monsanto and other companies over biotechnology seed products sold to American farmers. On Sept. 26, the same court dismissed all "tort claims" asserted in the same suit that attacked the introduction of biotechnology. Combined with today's decision, the District Court has now eliminated both theories advanced in the plaintiffs' class-action lawsuit originally initiated in 1999.
