<p><b>Genetically modified crops</b> (<b>GM crops</b>) are plants used in <a href="Agriculture" title="Agriculture">agriculture</a>, the <a href="DNA" title="DNA">DNA</a> of which has been modified using <a href="Genetic_engineering" title="Genetic engineering">genetic engineering</a> methods. Plant <a href="Genome" title="Genome">genomes</a> can be engineered by physical methods or by use of <i><a href="Agrobacterium" title="Agrobacterium">Agrobacterium</a></i> for the delivery of sequences hosted in <a href="Transfer_DNA_binary_system" title="Transfer DNA binary system">T-DNA binary vectors</a>. In most cases, the aim is to introduce a new <a href="Trait_(biology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Trait (biology)">trait</a> to the plant which does not occur naturally in the species. Examples in food crops include resistance to certain pests, diseases, environmental conditions, reduction of spoilage, resistance to chemical treatments (e.g. resistance to a <a href="Herbicide" title="Herbicide">herbicide</a>), or improving the nutrient profile of the crop. Examples in non-food crops include production of <a href="Plant_manufactured_pharmaceuticals" title="Plant manufactured pharmaceuticals">pharmaceutical agents</a>, <a href="Biofuels" class="mw-redirect" title="Biofuels">biofuels</a>, and other industrially useful goods, as well as for <a href="Bioremediation" title="Bioremediation">bioremediation</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-James2013_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-James2013-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Farmers have widely adopted GM technology. Acreage increased from 1.7 million hectares in 1996 to 185.1 million hectares in 2016, some 12% of global cropland.

In 2015, 53.6 million ha of <a href="Genetically_modified_maize" title="Genetically modified maize">Genetically modified maize</a> were under cultivation (almost 1/3 of the maize crop). GM maize outperformed its predecessors: yield was 5.6 to 24.5% higher with less <a href="Mycotoxin" title="Mycotoxin">mycotoxins</a> (−28.8%), <a href="Fumonisin_B1" title="Fumonisin B1">fumonisin</a> (−30.6%) and thricotecens (−36.5%).

More recently, <a href="CRISPR" title="CRISPR">CRISPR</a> and <a href="Transcription_activator-like_effector_nuclease" title="Transcription activator-like effector nuclease">TALEN</a> offered much more precise and convenient editing techniques.
</p><p>Gene guns (also known as biolistics) "shoot" (direct high energy particles or radiations against<sup id="cite_ref-57" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-57"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>57<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>) target genes into plant cells. It is the most common method. <a href="DNA" title="DNA">DNA</a> is bound to tiny particles of gold or tungsten which are subsequently shot into plant tissue or single plant cells under high pressure. The accelerated particles penetrate both the <a href="Cell_wall" title="Cell wall">cell wall</a> and <a href="Cell_membrane" title="Cell membrane">membranes</a>. The DNA separates from the metal and is integrated into plant DNA inside the <a href="Cell_nucleus" title="Cell nucleus">nucleus</a>. This method has been applied successfully for many cultivated crops, especially <a href="Monocot" class="mw-redirect" title="Monocot">monocots</a> like wheat or maize, for which <a href="Transformation_(genetics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Transformation (genetics)">transformation</a> using <i>Agrobacterium tumefaciens</i> has been less successful.<sup id="cite_ref-58" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-58"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>58<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The major disadvantage of this procedure is that serious damage can be done to the cellular tissue.
</p><p><i><a href="Agrobacterium_tumefaciens" title="Agrobacterium tumefaciens">Agrobacterium tumefaciens</a>-</i>mediated transformation is another common technique. Agrobacteria are natural plant <a href="Parasites" class="mw-redirect" title="Parasites">parasites</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Halford_59-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Halford-59"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>59<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Their natural ability to transfer genes provides another engineering method. To create a suitable environment for themselves, these Agrobacteria insert their genes into plant hosts, resulting in a proliferation of modified plant cells near the soil level (<a href="Crown_gall" class="mw-redirect" title="Crown gall">crown gall</a>). The genetic information for tumor growth is encoded on a mobile, circular DNA fragment (<a href="Plasmid" title="Plasmid">plasmid</a>). When <i>Agrobacterium</i> infects a plant, it transfers this <a href="Ti_plasmid" title="Ti plasmid">T-DNA</a> to a random site in the plant genome. When used in genetic engineering the bacterial T-DNA is removed from the bacterial plasmid and replaced with the desired foreign gene. The bacterium is a <a href="Vector_(epidemiology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Vector (epidemiology)">vector</a>, enabling transportation of foreign genes into plants. This method works especially well for <a href="Dicotyledon" title="Dicotyledon">dicotyledonous</a> plants like potatoes, tomatoes, and tobacco. Agrobacteria infection is less successful in crops like wheat and maize.
</p><p>Electroporation is used when the plant tissue does not contain cell walls. In this technique, "DNA enters the plant cells through miniature pores which are temporarily caused by electric pulses."
</p><p>Microinjection is used to directly inject foreign DNA into cells.<sup id="cite_ref-60" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-60"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>60<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Introducing new genes into plants requires a <a href="Promoter_(genetics)" title="Promoter (genetics)">promoter</a> specific to the area where the gene is to be expressed.

<p>The number of USDA-approved field releases for testing grew from 4 in 1985 to 1,194 in 2002 and averaged around 800 per year thereafter. The number of sites per release and the number of gene constructs (ways that the gene of interest is packaged together with other elements) – have rapidly increased since 2005. Releases with agronomic properties (such as drought resistance) jumped from 1,043 in 2005 to 5,190 in 2013. As of September 2013, about 7,800 releases had been approved for corn, more than 2,200 for soybeans, more than 1,100 for cotton, and about 900 for potatoes. Releases were approved for herbicide tolerance (6,772 releases), insect resistance (4,809), product quality such as flavor or nutrition (4,896), agronomic properties like drought resistance (5,190), and virus/fungal resistance (2,616). The institutions with the most authorized field releases include Monsanto with 6,782, Pioneer/DuPont with 1,405, Syngenta with 565, and USDA's Agricultural Research Service with 370. As of September 2013 USDA had received proposals for releasing GM rice, squash, plum, rose, tobacco, flax, and chicory.<sup id="cite_ref-ERS_2016_209-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ERS_2016-209"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>207<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>To reduce resistance to <i><a href="Bacillus_thuringiensis" title="Bacillus thuringiensis">Bacillus thuringiensis</a></i> (Bt) crops, the 1996 commercialization of transgenic cotton and maize came with a management strategy to prevent insects from becoming resistant. Insect resistance management plans are mandatory for Bt crops. The aim is to encourage a large population of pests so that any (recessive) resistance genes are diluted within the population. Resistance lowers evolutionary fitness in the absence of the stressor, Bt. In refuges, non-resistant strains outcompete resistant ones.<sup id="cite_ref-216" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-216"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>214<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>With sufficiently high levels of transgene expression, nearly all of the heterozygotes (S/s), i.e., the largest segment of the pest population carrying a resistance allele, will be killed before maturation, thus preventing transmission of the resistance gene to their progeny.<sup id="cite_ref-217" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-217"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>215<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Refuges (i. e., fields of nontransgenic plants) adjacent to transgenic fields increases the likelihood that homozygous resistant (s/s) individuals and any surviving heterozygotes will mate with susceptible (S/S) individuals from the refuge, instead of with other individuals carrying the resistance allele. As a result, the resistance gene frequency in the population remains lower.
</p><p>Complicating factors can affect the success of the high-dose/refuge strategy. For example, if the temperature is not ideal, thermal stress can lower Bt toxin production and leave the plant more susceptible. More importantly, reduced late-season expression has been documented, possibly resulting from <a href="DNA_methylation" title="DNA methylation">DNA methylation</a> of the <a href="Promoter_(biology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Promoter (biology)">promoter</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-218" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-218"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>216<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The success of the high-dose/refuge strategy has successfully maintained the value of Bt crops.

Coined "Refuge-In-a-Bag" (RIB), this practice is intended to increase farmer compliance with refuge requirements and reduce additional labor needed at planting from having separate Bt and refuge seed bags on hand.<sup id="cite_ref-221" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-221"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>219<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This strategy is likely to reduce the likelihood of Bt-resistance occurring for <a href="Corn_rootworm" class="mw-redirect" title="Corn rootworm">corn rootworm</a>, but may increase the risk of resistance for <a href="Lepidopteran" class="mw-redirect" title="Lepidopteran">lepidopteran</a> corn pests, such as <a href="European_corn_borer" title="European corn borer">European corn borer</a>. Increased concerns for resistance with seed mixtures include partially resistant larvae on a Bt plant being able to move to a susceptible plant to survive or cross pollination of refuge pollen on to Bt plants that can lower the amount of Bt expressed in kernels for ear feeding insects.<sup id="cite_ref-Siegfried_222-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Siegfried-222"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>220<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Devos_223-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Devos-223"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>221<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>The role of <a href="Biopiracy" title="Biopiracy">biopiracy</a> in the development of GM crops is also potentially problematic, as developed countries have gotten economic gain by using the genetic resources of developing countries. In the twentieth century, the International Rice Research Institute catalogued the genomes of almost 80,000 varieties of rice from Asian farms, which has since been used to create new higher yielding varieties of rice. These new varieties create almost 655 million dollars of economic gain for Australia, USA, Canada, and New Zealand every year.<sup id="cite_ref-252" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-252"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>250<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

However, safety concerns cannot, as yet, be dismissed completely on the basis of information currently available.<br><br>When seeking to optimise the balance between benefits and risks, it is prudent to err on the side of caution and, above all, learn from accumulating knowledge and experience. Any new technology such as genetic modification must be examined for possible benefits and risks to human health and the environment. As with all novel foods, safety assessments in relation to GM foods must be made on a case-by-case basis.<br><br>Members of the GM jury project were briefed on various aspects of genetic modification by a diverse group of acknowledged experts in the relevant subjects. The GM jury reached the conclusion that the sale of GM foods currently available should be halted and the moratorium on commercial growth of GM crops should be continued. These conclusions were based on the precautionary principle and lack of evidence of any benefit. The Jury expressed concern over the impact of GM crops on farming, the environment, food safety and other potential health effects.<br><br>The Royal Society review (2002) concluded that the risks to human health associated with the use of specific viral DNA sequences in GM plants are negligible, and while calling for caution in the introduction of potential allergens into food crops, stressed the absence of evidence that commercially available GM foods cause clinical allergic manifestations.
