19.3.2—Examples of GMOs in agriculture

GM salmon can be modified for growth, soybeans can be herbicide-resistant and cotton can express insect resistance.

Explain the introduced trait and its management consequence rather than treating all GM crops as equivalent.

Insect-resistant cotton can reduce damage from a target pest while requiring resistance-management strategies.

A trait can create trade-offs: herbicide resistance may alter herbicide use, and pest resistance can evolve.
