    The document discusses the characteristics of genetically modified agricultural crops such as sugar cane, soybeans, and their resistance to viruses, bacteria, fungi, herbicides and pests. Specific crops are mentioned, with sugar cane having resistance to drought and high salt levels in soil, while soybeans are modified to have increased oleic acid and vitamin E, with less linoleic acid and removal of allergens.
