Abstract
In comparison with technological advancements in other fields, applications of biotechnology in agriculture elicit strong, divisive opinions. The polarizing debate over genetically modified organisms (GMOs), or transgenic crops, has spanned decades. Opponents have focused heavily on a single trait: herbicide tolerance. Public concern regarding the impacts of herbicides on human health and the environment has overshadowed other applications of genetic engineering, such as pest resistance, biofortification, and non-browning fruit (Abdallah et al., 2015).
