Perhaps the most famous examples are food crops like soy and corn that have been genetically modified for pest and herbicide resistance. These crops are widely known as âGMOsâ (genetically modified organisms). Here are few other examples of transgenic organisms with commercial value:
There seems to be a good deal of confusion between the terms âhybridâ and âgenetic modificationâ (note: genetically modified food is also called âGMOâ which stands for genetically modified organism). I want to clear this up, since there is a HUGE difference between the two. Hybrids are the result of cross-pollination between two species of plants. For example, peppermint is a naturally occurring hybrid. It is a cross between watermint and spearmint.
