[d] A transgenic crop plant contains a gene or genes which have been artificially inserted instead of the plant acquiring them through pollination. Soybeans and corn account for 80% of GM areas world-wide. India has the fourth largest area planted under genetically modified (GM) crops, according to the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-Biotech. Significantly, the entire 11.57 mh GM crop area in India last year consisted of Bt cotton. Nearly 96 per cent of the country's cotton area is now covered by Bt hybrids.
