In 2009 the government of Mexico created a regulatory pathway for genetically modified maize, [85] but because Mexico is the center of diversity for maize, gene flow could affect a large fraction of the world's maize strains. [86] [87] A 2001 report in Nature presented evidence that Bt maize was cross-breeding with unmodified maize in Mexico. [88]
MON 802 is an Insect Resistant maize under license from Monsanto Company. [2] 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).
Genetically modified crops are plants used in agriculture, the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering techniques. In most cases, the aim is to introduce a new trait to the plant which does not occur naturally in the species.
Many people avoid “GMOs” at the grocery store, instead selecting foods labeled non-GMO or the organic versions of items from apples to oats, as they are worried about ingesting genetically ...
Getty Images About 20 years ago, a company now owned by Monsanto (MON) introduced the Flavr Savr tomato -- the first genetically modified organism approved for consumption in the United States.
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.

A study investigating voluntary labeling in South Africa found that 31% of products labeled as GMO-free had a GM content above 1.0%. [4] In Canada and the US labeling of GM food is voluntary, [5] while in Europe all food (including processed food) or feed which contains greater than 0.9% of approved GMOs must be labelled. [6] [7]
