Genetic modification in plants was first recorded 10,000 years ago in Southwest Asia where humans first bred plants through artificial selection and selective breeding. Since then, advancements in agriculture science and technology have brought about the current GM crop revolution. GM crops are promising to mitigate current and future problems in commercial agriculture, with proven case studies in Indian cotton and Australian canola. However, controversial studies such as the Monarch Butterfly study (1999) and the Séralini affair (2012) along with current problems linked to insect resistance and potential health risks have jeopardised its standing with the public and policymakers, even leading to full and partial bans in certain countries. Nevertheless, the current growth rate of the GM seed market at 9.83-10% CAGR along with promising research avenues in biofortification, precise DNA integration and stress tolerance have forecast it to bring productivity and prosperity to commercial agriculture.

转基因作物对现代农业的影响：综述。

植物的基因修饰最早是在一万年前在西南亚记录的，人类首先通过人工选择和选择性育种培育出植物。从那时起，农业科学技术的进步带来了当前的转基因作物革命。通过在印度棉花和澳大利亚双低油菜籽中进行可靠的案例研究，转基因作物有望缓解商业化农业当前和未来的问题。但是，诸如帝王蝶研究（1999年）和塞拉利尼事件（2012年）等有争议的研究，以及与昆虫抗药性和潜在健康风险相关的当前问题，损害了其在公众和政策制定者中的地位，甚至导致全面禁止部分使用某些国家。尽管如此，目前转基因种子市场的增长率为9。
