   Do genetically modified plants produce corn?

   • Introduced in the mid-1990s, genetically modified (GMO) seeds now produce nearly 90 percent of the field corn in the United States (along with more than 90 percent of the soy and canola). Unlike hybridized plants, which are created through cross-pollination, genetically modified plants have strands of DNA added to achieve desired characteristics.

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) corn is a GMO corn that produces proteins that are toxic to certain insect pests but not to humans, pets, livestock, or other animals.

   Is GMO corn better than non-GMO corn?

   • The results of the Pellegrino study indicated that there is strong evidence that GMO corn performs better than its near-isogenic line (a non-GMO modified crop that is nevertheless similar in genetic identity) in multiple ways, including enhanced grain quality and yield as well as increased pest resistance (that does not impact beneficial insects).

   Growing a widely used crop such as corn with the added benefits of GMO technology is significant on a global scale. With the growing population and threats to usable farmland, scientists and producers must work together be more strategically efficient in growing high-demand commodity crops to maintain our food supply. Fortunately for all of us, the...
