Genetically Engineering have been used from a long time to get the desired traits in the produce for many reasons either to achieve high yield or to resist the stress conditions. Throughout history many crops have been modified from their original state by selection, controlled breeding etc. With time, new methods have been developed to modify crops genetically using genetic engineering approach, to develop new plants with different characteristics more rapidly with best results like high yield with good quality, insect resistance, drought & stress tolerance and Phytoremediation etc. Genetically Modified Crops were in a huge debate for its use and their effects on human and environment. But with modern methods and more safer approach GM crops have the potential to solve world’s hunger and malnutrition like big problems and to contribute to the ecosystem by reducing the use of chemicals, fertilizers and pesticides. This review will address different methodologies use to develop the Genetically Modified Crops from history times to present, Ways to identify the presence of GMOs, Present GM Crops with their modified traits.
