The genetic modification of corn that makes the plants resistant to certain pests is achieved by incorporating a gene from bacillus thuringiensis.
The process of changing an organism's genetic makeup is called genetic modification. Through carefully regulated or selective breeding of plants and animals, this has been accomplished inadvertently for thousands of years. Targeting a particular gene for more-accurate genetic engineering of the organism has become simpler and faster thanks to modern biotechnology.
The most widely cultivated crop in the US is corn, and the majority of it is genetically modified. The majority of GMO corn is designed to withstand herbicides or fight insect pests. The GMO corn Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) produces poisonous proteins for some insect pests but not for people, pets, livestock, or other animals.
