Learn how GMO corn, soybean, cotton, sugar beets, canola, and other crops are used to make ingredients for animal food and other products. Find out where you can find GMOs in the U.S. and how they are safe for animals and humans.
Oct 13, 2003 · After seven years of GM crop production and no apparent health effects, potential environmental risks—particularly gene flow into other species—have eclipsed food safety as a primary concern. As pollen and seeds move in the environment, they can transmit genetic traits to nearby crops or wild relatives.

Nov 4, 2019 · But despite the creation of many genetically modified (GM) pest- and herbicide-resistant crops, scientists haven't had much success with boosting crop growth. Now, researchers have for the first time shown they can reliably increase corn yields up to 10% by changing a gene that increases plant growth—regardless of whether growing conditions ...
Genetically modified maize is a genetically modified crop. Specific maize strains have been genetically engineered to express agriculturally-desirable traits, including resistance to pests and to herbicides. Maize strains with both traits are now in use in multiple countries.
Aug 23, 2022 · 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).
