Crop plants, cultivated by man, which have been altered to be able to survive application(s) of one or more herbicides by the incorporation of certain gene(s), via either genetic engineering or traditional breeding techniques. For example, crops (e.g., soybean, canola, cotton, corn/maize, etc.) are made tolerant to glyphosatecontaining herbicides by insertion (via genetic engineering techniques) of the transgene for CP4 EPSPS. Com (maize) is made tolerant to imidazolinone-containing herbicides by adding (via traditional breeding techniques) the imidazolinone-tolerant trait. That trait is imparted by the T-Gene, IT-Gene, or the IR-Gene.
