The use of genetically modified corn and cotton has increased over 10-fold from 1992 to 1999 and as of 2002, 50 crop species have been evaluated for uses by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In the development of transgenic crops, genes isolated from several varieties of the bacterium. Bacillus thuringienses (Bt) are probably the best known and most often cited example of GMO development.
