    Bt cotton crops have been genetically modified to produce a toxin that protects the cotton boll from insect infestation, as seen in the image where the Bt cotton boll on the right is undamaged while the non-Bt boll on the left is infested. In addition to Bt cotton, other genetically modified crops have been produced through engineering rather than traditional breeding methods. Different types of plants have been genetically modified, including cotton, corn, and soybeans.
