Is there a place where I can find basic information about each of the 10 GMO crops? Perhaps a fact sheet for each crop stating when each GMO crop was developed, what genetic characteristics were developed and how, etc? I have seen the infographic on this website, but Im looking for more a little more in depth information. If I do a google search, its hard to find legitimate information.

This table, provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, lists every GMO by crop type, the genetically modified trait and the company that applied for commercial use of the crop. The International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA) also has a comprehensive GMO crop approval database, which you can view here.

Also, the infographic below details what GM traits are used in crops in the United States, including herbicide tolerance, disease resistance and insect resistance.
