Genetically Modified Wheat

                           Genetic Wheat

Introduction

Wheat is one of the most important crops in our society. It has been grown on farms since prehistoric times and is still today used to make bread, pasta, and other baked goods. Wheat was first brought over from Europe with settlers who settled in North America. Today, it is grown all over the world as well as being an important ingredient for making many other foods like beer and whiskey. Genetically Modified Wheat

Genetic modification (GM) refers to the process of adding genes from one species into another so that it can be bred or cultivated for its own purposes. This may involve bacteria or viruses being modified so they can produce insulin or antibodies against diseases like cancer!

The reason why genetically modified wheat could be important for humans is because some strains already produce their own insecticides (which helps protect them from pests). So far this type of wheat has not been approved by either USDA or FDA but trials have been done on small plots throughout Oklahoma where we live which means this product will soon become commercialized if approved by both agencies!

Wheat is one of the most important crops of the world.

The wheat crop is one of the most important crops in the world. It has been grown since prehistoric times, but it was not until medieval times that farmers began growing large amounts of seed. Today, around 1 billion people depend on this crop for their daily bread and other meals.

Wheat grows best in temperate climates with warm summers and cold winters (it's actually hardier than you might think). This means that most wheat is grown in Europe or North America—but some regions like Australia also produce good yields from their native strains of wheat.*

Wheat is grown in almost all countries.

Wheat is a grain that was domesticated in the Fertile Crescent region of southeastern Asia, and remains an important staple food for many people. It has been used for millennia for baking, brewing beer and making flour. The tiny grains are also used to make pasta noodles or couscous by grinding them into flour before cooking them with water or broth.

Wheat is grown in almost all countries around the world: North America (Canada) produces about 3% of global production; Central America (Costa Rica), South America (Argentina), West Africa/Sudan/Uganda) and East Africa produce about 1%.

Genetic modification leads to producing a more resistant product.

Genetic modification can help make crops more resistant to disease, pests and drought.

Genetic modification also makes them more heat tolerant and less susceptible to frost damage. This means that the plants are able to survive long periods of cold weather without damaging their ability to grow or produce food.

This type of wheat was developed by Monsanto.

Monsanto is a big company, and they are known for their genetically modified seeds. They have been working on this wheat for a long time, but they want to make sure it's safe before they release it. This is good because it shows that there are other companies out there who care about the health of their customers as much as Monsanto does.

So far it has not been approved in the US but trials have been done.

So far, it has not been approved in the US but trials have been done. The US is not the only country that needs to approve it. The trials have been done in Australia, Canada and Mexico - all countries where Monsanto has a presence.

The FDA and USDA will have to approve it before it can be used commercially.

The FDA and USDA are responsible for approving genetically modified foods, so they will have to approve this wheat before it can be used commercially.

The FDA is responsible for food safety and quality; the USDA is responsible for both. While there may be some overlap between their roles, these agencies have distinct responsibilities when it comes to regulating GMOs.

The modified wheat produces its own insecticide.

The protein is produced in the leaves and shoots, not the grain. It's not toxic to humans or animals, but it's specific to certain insects that feed on plants like wheat. When an insect bites into this modified plant, it eats its way through layers of cells until it reaches one containing this special protein. This causes a reaction inside the insect's body that causes it to die quickly—and in most cases painlessly!

The only downside? You need to keep feeding your newly resistant crop regularly so that its defense system remains active (which means buying more seeds or planting new ones). But if you're willing to do this work yourself (or pay someone else who can), then all your future meals will be free of pests!

Genetically modified wheat may become available very soon

The first genetically modified (GM) wheat has been approved for commercial planting in Canada.

This is the first GM crop ever to reach the market and it comes from Monsanto, a company that was once considered one of America's leading biotech food companies but has since been forced out of business by its many lawsuits over the safety of its products.

The modified wheat contains a gene from an insecticide known as Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) that makes it resistant to insects like whiteflies and aphids - which could potentially help farmers reduce pesticide usage on their crops.

Conclusion

This is a very exciting time in the world of food. As we mentioned earlier, Monsanto has developed this new genetically modified wheat that will hopefully be available very soon. The FDA and USDA will have to approve it before it can be used commercially, but we’re hoping they do so quickly!
