The organisms resulting from the use of modern biotechnological techniques are commonly referred to as genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or living modified organisms (LMOs). LMOs include a variety of food crops that have been genetically modified for greater productivity or for resistance to pests or diseases. Common examples of modified crops include tomatoes, grains, cassava (a starchy root grown in Sub-Saharan Africa and other tropical areas), corn, and soybeans.
