There are quite a few... Most of them European, Asian, and South American, and almost all of them are weeds.\n\nDandelions are introduced, but that's just one of hundreds.

gram can be grown in cotton because cotton has a lot of pores which can store water and air. these grams absorb this water and the nutrients along with it and germinate into little seedlings. then they have to be transplaned into the open land so that they can get sufficient nutrients. the small grams need very little water and nutrients to germinate in their initial stages.

I was able to find a map of countrys by how much they produce, but not by what they produce.  Sorry it isn't what you wanted, but maybe it will help anyhow.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_agricultural_output

Read a book called Guns, Germs, and Steel or get it on video if you're lazy.  Basically the author of this book explains how geographic and climactic factors favored agriculture in Europe as their society evolved, this gave them a head start towards modern society.  Africa's climate continues to be less favorable for agriculture and industry.  And in many places their social structure remains focused on survival rather than "progress".  Thats not the whole story, but its a big piece of the puzzle.

Different countries have different rules about importing agricultural products.  Check the rules of the nations you have in mind.

Whatever makes you think that bt cultivation is ineffective in the tropics? BT cotton is just as effective in the tropics as anywhere else.

There is not really a "global" flower trade. It is illegal to import/export many plants and flowers because of agricultural restrictions. Flowers are grown and sold locally or between nearby states. Here is some information on the U.S. flower market:\n\nAccording to the U.S. Census Bureau 4,598 establishments composed this industry in 2001, with an annual payroll of $1.6 million. In 2002, total annual sales were $14.3 billion. The majority were small-scale, single-unit operations, which operated year-round. The industry employed some 60,890 people and had an annual payroll of $1.6 million. In 2003, the number of establishments climbed to 9,123, with annual sales of $8.9 billion. The total number of employees increased also to 86,292. The average sales per establishment totaled about $1 million.\n\nBedding and garden plants and flowers make up approximately 66 percent of annual floriculture sales in the Midwest. The Northeast accounts for 55 percent, the South was responsible for 43 percent, while the West represents 36 percent. In a report released by the Floriculture and Nursery Crop Outlook, the total sales for floriculture crops in 2003 was valued at $5 billion; nursery crops generated $9.4 billion; and floriculture and nursery were valued at $14.4 billion.\n\nThe industry is divided into two general categories: Wholesalers primarily engaged in the distribution of flowers and florists' supplies, and wholesalers engaged in the distribution of nursery stock. Flowers and florist supplies contributed about 28 percent of its sales, and nursery stock generated about 26 percent of its sales. Combined they generated approximately $3.8 billion.\n\nThe majority of companies in this classification were small--employing fewer than five persons. In 2001, 1,617 companies had fewer than 5 employees; 797 had between five and nine employees; 652 had between 10 and 19; 676 had between 20 and 99; 324 had between 100 and 499; and 64 had 500 or more employees.\n\nLike other industries of its kind, the wholesale flowers, nursery stock, and florists' supplies industry experienced a decline in the number of establishments and with only modest increases in sales, rising an average of five percent a year throughout the early 1990s to an estimated $2.3 billion by 1996. The 1994 U.S. Industrial Outlook attributed the decline to mergers, acquisitions, and business failures. In addition, the increase of direct manufacturer to retail agreements and the use of mail order and catalog sales negatively impacted the wholesale industry.\n\nThe largest group, comprised of 4,300 units, reported sales between $100,000 and $249,000 in 1997, according to Dun's Census of American Business. The next biggest category included slightly larger operations with gross revenues between $250,000 and $499,000 that year: 1,754 wholesalers fell into this group. More than 1,500 units had sales between $500,000 and $1 million, and about 1,700 units had sales between $1 million and $5 million. 1,202 wholesale flower and nursery stock distributors had annual sales volumes between $50,000 and $99,000; and only 366 sold between $1,000 and $50,000 worth of stock in 1997. The smallest grouping, comprised of units reporting more than $5 million in annual sales, remained relatively steady, increasing from 347 to 349 operators.\n\nThe leading states with the highest value of wholesale floriculture sales were California with 19.7 percent, Florida with 18 percent, Michigan with 6.4 percent, Texas with 5.6 percent, and Ohio with 3.9 percent. Combined, these states accounted for $4.6 billion in sales.\n\nIn a report released from The United States Department of Agriculture, floriculture was expected to climb up 2 percent in 2003. This was in anticipation of the improvement of the overall economy that had been flat, and rising retail sales. The report further concluded that some 4,600 growers had sales of $100,000 or more. These individual growers represented 94 percent o

By most counts 192, but it is not as simple as that.  Many places that consider themselves countries are not included in that number - for example, Scotland, Taiwan, Bermuda, Greenland, Western Sahara, Palestine, etc.\n\nThese links should help.

thousands!  so many, scientists haven't even found and classified them all!\n\nthere are also industrial plants and power plants, but you don't want these in your backyard :)
