Genetic Engineering

1. Introduction to Genetic Engineering in Agriculture

  1. Genetic engineering involves modifying the DNA of crops to enhance desirable traits.
  2. It is widely used in crop improvement, pest resistance, and stress tolerance.
  3. Genetically modified (GM) crops are produced using Recombinant DNA Technology.
  4. Aim: To enhance yield, resistance to pests, tolerance to drought, and nutritional value.
