In 1995, [[Monsanto]] introduced the '''NewLeaf''' variety of potato which was their first genetically modified crop. It was designed to resist attack from the [[Colorado potato beetle]] due to the insertion of [[Bt toxin]] producing genes from the bacterium ''[[Bacillus thuringiensis]]''. The insect-resistant potatoes found only a small market, and Monsanto discontinued the sale of seed in 2001.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Kilman|first1=Scott|title=Monsanto's Genetically Modified Potatoes Find Slim Market, Despite Repelling Bugs|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB985128671233949916|work=Wall Street Journal|accessdate=23 April 2015|date=21 March 2001}}</ref>
