A genetically modified sugar beet is a sugar beet that has been genetically engineered by the direct modification of its genome using biotechnology. Commercialized GM sugar beets make use of a glyphosate -resistance modification developed by Monsanto and KWS Saat .
BASF Plant Science genetically modifies crops like maize, soy, cotton, canola, sugarcane, sugar beet, and potatoes. These genetically modified crops are sold and distributed through biotechnology companies like Monsanto, [2] KWS Saat, [3] Embrapa, [4] or CTC (Centro de Tecnologia Canavieira). [5]

Sugar beets can be stored for a short while after harvest, but must be processed before sucrose deterioration occurs. A recent development has been the introduction of genetically modified seed varieties. In the 2009/10 crop year, genetically modified varieties accounted for about 95 percent of planted area, up from about 60 percent in 2008/09. [4]

Sugar is formed by photosynthesis in the leaves and is then stored in the root. The root of the beet contains 75% water, about 20% [7] sugar, and 5% pulp. [9] The exact sugar content can vary between 12% and 21%, depending on the cultivar and growing conditions. Sugar is the primary value of sugar beet as a cash crop.
Nine million hectares of genetically modified canola was grown with 8 million of those in Canada. Other GM crops grown in 2014 include Alfalfa (862 000 ha), sugar beet (494 000 ha) and papaya (7 475 ha). In Bangladesh a genetically modified eggplant was grown commercially for the first time on 12 ha. [6]
