    Roundup Ready corn varieties resistant to glyphosate herbicides were first introduced in 1996 by Monsanto. Bayer CropScience later developed varieties resistant to glufosinate. Pioneer Hi-Bred bred corn hybrids tolerant to imidazoline herbicides called Clearfield using traditional breeding methods rather than genetic engineering, so they are not regulated as transgenic crops. As of 2011, herbicide-resistant GM corn was grown in 14 countries and 26 varieties were authorized for import into the European Union, though such imports remain controversial.

    Corn varieties resistant to glyphosate herbicides were first commercialized in 1996 by Monsanto,

    and are known as "Roundup Ready Corn". They tolerate the use of Roundup.[1] Bayer
    CropScience developed "Liberty Link Corn" that is resistant to glufosinate.[2] Pioneer Hi-Bred has
    developed and markets corn hybrids with tolerance to imidazoline herbicides under the trademark
    "Clearfield" – though in these hybrids, the herbicide-tolerance trait was bred using tissue culture
    selection and the chemical mutagen ethyl methanesulfonate, not genetic engineering.
    [3]
     Consequently, the regulatory framework governing the approval of transgenic crops does not apply
    for Clearfield.[3]
    As of 2011, herbicide-resistant GM corn was grown in 14 countries. [4] By 2012, 26 varieties of
    herbicide-resistant GM maize were authorised for import into the European Union.,[5] but such
    imports remain controversial.[6] Cultivation of herbicide-resistant corn in the EU provides substantial
    farm-level benefits.
