Genetically Modified Corn

In 2008 the global GM-corn planting area exceeded 20 Mio hectares (James, Clive. 2009. Global Status of Commercialized Biotech/GM Crops: 2008. ISAAA Brief No. 39. ISAAA: Ithaca, NY.). While 8 GM corn lines are fully approved in the EU, more than 30 different GM corn events are approved in the USA.
