Sentence examples for genetically engineered maize from inspiring English sources

For example, genetically engineered plants, such as the genetically engineered maize 'Smartstax' (MON89034 × 1507 × MON88017 × 59122), express up to six Bt toxins, resulting in a much higher concentration of the potentially immunogenic proteins.
Potential future applications of microbial control agents in maize may include bolstering populations of entomopathogens in the soil through conservation biological control, developing entomopathogenic fungi for application to maize seeds, and novel Bt toxins for genetically engineered maize.
However, beginning in the 1990s, genetically engineered maize that produces insecticidal toxins derived from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) was made commercially available for the management of pest insects.

Genetically engineered corn costs about $350 a ton.
A three-year experimental field study with a genetically engineered Bt maize (event MON88017) and three conventionally bred cultivars was conducted to quantify the recombinant Cry3Bb1 protein released into soil and detect effects on the diversity of soil bacteria.
