Plants that are used for agriculture are considered genetically modified crops since genetic engineering techniques have been used to alter Genetically Modified Crops Market. Current market expansion is being driven by the multiple advantages provided by GM crops. In addition to having a higher yield and better nutritional content, genetically modified crops also have a longer shelf life and are more resistant to frost, drought, and insect pests. For instance, the gene responsible for the most effective weed control is put into Roundup GM soybeans.
Foods that have undergone genetic modification (GM) are those derived from species whose genetic material (DNA) has undergone changes that do not occur normally, such as the insertion of a gene from another organism.
