Monsanto, the company which developed the first glyphosate herbicide (Round-Up) has also developed a glyphosate-resistant gene. This gene they then insert into a variety of crops through a process of [[genetic engineering]] so that they resist the enzyme inhibitor. These "Round-Up Ready" crops now make up the majority of [[corn]], [[soy]], rapeseed ([[canola]]), [[cotton]], alfalfa, and other popular crops in the United States.<ref>http://www.healthy-eating-politics.com/genetically-modified-crops.html</ref>
