Since their market introduction in
1996, agricultural biotechnologies
that confer insect or herbicide
resistance have been adopted
extensively by agricultural producers.
More recently, DNA technologies that produce plantmade pharmaceuticals are being developed for future release. The market penetration of any of these
products depends on consumer
acceptance, but recent research
indicates mixed opinions of GMO (genetically modified organism)-
derived products by U.S. consumers.
