Genetically modified or “GM” crops are being considered as having the potential to bring about the second green revolution. India is currently working on 111 transgenic crop varieties of various vegetables, fruits, spices, cereals, bamboo etc. Transgenic crops brinjal, cabbage, castor, cauliflower, corn, groundnut, okra, potato, rice and tomato are under field trials stage. But it is cotton which was the first GM crop to be extensively worked upon & commercially released in India; the reason being that India has the largest area under cotton cultivation in the world.
