Genetically 

Modified
Corn
BY SHOSANNAH DEY
One Pioneer in Corn Genetics was BARBARA
MCCLINTOCK

Was the FIRST person to

make a
COMPLETE genetic map of
corn

Discovered
that by REARRANGING the
position of the genes

You can obtain different

colors of corn
 But
BARBARA found that different
how?
colored corn have the same GENES,
but a different STRUCTURE
So there would only be change in
color

Her work on corn, and the modification of corn itself paved

the way for other foods
Such as:
More facts There are 8 commercially
available genetically modified
about GMC foods
corn, soybeans, cotton,
alfalfa, sugar beets,
canola, papaya, and
squash.
Apples and potatoes will
be available soon

GM crops are beneficial to

the environment, they have
resulted in
significant reduction
of greenhouse gas
emissions

Biologists have used

genetic engineering since
the 1980s, although not
always successful
