Worldwide most cultivated transgenic crop is:
Worldwide area under biotech crops exceeded 206 million hectares in 2023, with herbicide tolerant soybean dominant accounting ~97.8 million hectares nearly 50 percent total, surpassing Bt cotton 25 million, Bt maize 60 million and herbicide tolerant maize. Event GTS 40-3-2 Roundup Ready soybean developed by Monsanto expresses glyphosate-insensitive 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase EPSPS from Agrobacterium sp. strain CP4, which retains catalytic activity condensing shikimate-3-phosphate with phosphoenolpyruvate even in presence of glyphosate that normally inhibits aromatic amino acid
