Australia approved the commercial cultivation of the genetically modified Indian mustard species called ‘Brassica juncea’ for herbicide tolerance. This is the first time a genetically modified variety of Indian mustard has received commercial approval anywhere in the world. So far, the canola (Brassica napus) is perhaps the only genetically modified mustard variety that has been cleared for commercial application.

For example, a GM crop can contain a gene(s) that has been artificially inserted instead of the plant acquiring it through pollination.
