There are no gmo tomato plants.

I didn't know this. I figured everything that was mass produced and sold in the big box/grocery was GMO except specifically stated otherwise. That's for informing me. I'm new to this so forgive my ignorance

There really aren't very many gmo crops out there. It's mainly commodity crops like corn, soybean, cotton, canola, & sugar beet. Then there's stuff like papaya, some potatoes, some apples, summer squash and alfalfa.

The summer squash one is rarely used because it's stupid expensive and only provides minimal disease resistance.

By definition, any living thing that has been manipulated by man in any fashion (including selective breeding) is a Genetically Modified Organism. By definition, there isn't a plant or animal that humans consume that is not a GMO unless it is wild, but even then there are exceptions.
