Only a few types of GMO crops are grown in the United States, but some of these GMOs make up a large percentage of the crop grown (e.g., soybeans, corn, sugar beets, canola, and cotton). In...
For example, the colour of flowers is determined by genes that carry the instructions for making proteins involved in producing the pigments that colour petals. Genetic modification of plants involves adding a specific stretch of DNA into the plant’s genome, giving it new or different characteristics.
Genetically modified crops (GM crops) are plants used in agriculture, the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering methods. Plant genomes can be engineered by physical methods or by use of Agrobacterium for the delivery of sequences hosted in T-DNA binary vectors.
Corn, soybeans, and cotton are the three largest acreage GM crops. GM crops grown in Colorado include corn, alfalfa, sugar beet, soybeans, and canola. Potential future applications of the technology include nutritional enhancements, stress tolerance, disease resistance, biofuel efficiency, and remediation of polluted sites.
Crop plants, farm animals, and soil bacteria are some of the more prominent examples of organisms that have been subject to genetic engineering. Current Use of Genetically Modified...
