  2. Genetically modified maize - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_maize

    A 2018 study found that Bt-corn protected nearby fields of non-Bt corn and nearby vegetable crops, reducing the use of pesticides on those crops. Data from 1976 to 1996 (before Bt corn was widespread) was compared to data after it was adopted (1996–2016). They examined levels of the European corn borer and corn earworm. Their larvae eat a ...

    Corn line MON802 was developed through genetic modification to be tolerant [3] to glyphosate herbicide and protect the plant from the European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis) (the Bt trait). [4] MON 809 is an Insect Resistant maize under license from Monsanto. [5]

  4. MON 810 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MON_810

    These genetically modified plants with Bt protein are grown on a large scale around the world. [2] Monsanto's corn line MON 810 is produced by ballistically transforming another corn line with a plasmid, PV-ZMCT10. [3] This plasmid has a cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter and hsp70 maize intron sequences which drive the expression of the ...

  5. StarLink corn recall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlink_corn_recall

    The StarLink corn recalls occurred in the autumn of 2000, when over 300 food products were found to contain a genetically modified corn that had not been approved for human consumption. [1] It was the first-ever recall of a genetically modified food .

  6. Monsanto - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto

    Monsanto invented and sells genetically modified seeds that make a crystalline insecticidal protein from Bacillus thuringiensis, known as Bt. In 1995 Monsanto's potato plants producing Bt toxin were approved by the Environmental Protection Agency , following approval by the FDA, making it the first pesticide-producing crop to be approved in the ...

  7. Bacillus thuringiensis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacillus_thuringiensis

    During sporulation, many Bt strains produce crystal proteins (proteinaceous inclusions), called delta endotoxins, that have insecticidal action. This has led to their use as insecticides, and more recently to genetically modified crops using Bt genes, such as Bt corn. [4] Many crystal-producing Bt strains, though, do not have insecticidal ...

  8. Genetically modified food in the United States - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_food...

    Diamond v. Chakrabarty, 447 U.S. 303 (1980), was a United States Supreme Court case dealing with whether genetically modified organisms can be patented. [8] The Court held that a living, man-made micro-organism is patentable subject matter as a "manufacture" or "composition of matter" within the meaning of the Patent Act of 1952.

  9. Genetically modified food - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_food

    Maize/corn used for food and ethanol has been genetically modified to tolerate various herbicides and to express a protein from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) that kills certain insects. [126] About 90% of the corn grown in the US was genetically modified in 2010. [127]
