<p>Genetically modified wheat is <a href="/facts/Wheat/lrk6HdV3">wheat</a> that has been <a href="/facts/Genetic_engineering/vwdlDR61">genetically engineered</a> by the direct manipulation of its <a href="/facts/Genome/31Sm08JT">genome</a> using <a href="/facts/Biotechnology/8eFnI6FB">biotechnology</a>. As of 2020, no genetically modified wheat is grown commercially, although many field tests have been conducted. One wheat variety, Bioceres <a href="/facts/HB4_Wheat/EbIMujsl">HB4 Wheat</a>, is obtaining regulatory approval from the government of Argentina. </p>
