Bt Corn was first genetically modified with the insertion

of toxin gene from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis.
BT CORN When the Bt Corn was commercialized, an increase in
production was realized because of its resistance to the
attack of the corn borer.

GM cotton was created to be resistant to boll worms.

GM cotton not only provides a reliable source of cotton
for the textile industry, but it is also used to make
BT COTTON cottonseed oil, which is used in packaged foods and
many restaurants for frying. GMO cottonseed meal and
hulls are also used in food for animals.

GM potatoes were developed to resist insect pests and

GM POTATO disease. In addition, some GM potato varieties have been
developed to resist bruising and browning that can occur when
potatoes are packaged, stored, and transported, or even cut in
the kitchen.

Golden rice is the genetically modified rice

containing beta carotene, a precursor of
GOLDEN RICE vitamin A. Golden rice was genetically
modified to produce almost 20 times the
beta-carotene of previous varieties.

Sugar Beets were engineered to grow

GM SUGAR BEETS faster and to be more resistant to weeds.

GM canola is used mostly to make cooking oil

and margarine. Most GM canola is resistant to
GM CANOLA herbicides and helps farmers to more easily
control weeds in their fields.

GM papaya lines were developed to resist

GM PAPAYA infection by the papaya ring spot virus.

GM peas were created by inserting kidney beans

genes into the peas DNA resulting in the
GM PEAS production of a protein with pesticidal ability.

FlavrSavr tomato was designed to withstand the

FLAVRSAVR rigors of shipping, one that would last for weeks
while regular tomatoes shriveled and rot
