Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are organisms whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. In agriculture, genetically modified plants are widely used for various purposes such as improving crop yield, resistance to pests and diseases, and tolerance to environmental conditions. Examples include Bt - corn (which has a gene from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis that makes it resistant to certain pests) and herbicide - tolerant soybeans. While there are genetically modified animals (such as some fish for aquaculture in research settings) and genetically modified microorganisms (used in biotechnology for producing drugs like insulin), the number and scale of genetically modified plants in commercial use (e.g., in global agriculture) far exceed the other categories. Genetically modified humans are highly restricted and not in common use due to ethical and regulatory issues.
