Genetically Modified Crops; Crops Obtained Through the Use of Modern Biotechnology
Genetically Modified Crops Market The plants in which DNA has been modified using genetic engineering methods for agricultural purposes are called genetically modified crops or GM crops. GM crops are used in agriculture, the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering methods. To produce a GM plant, new DNA is transferred into plant cells. Cells are grown in tissue culture where they develop into plants. The seeds produced by these plants will inherit the new DNA. Genetically modified seeds are widely used in the agricultural industry. They are designed to make the plant more resistant to rain, pests, drought, and various diseases. Genetically modified seeds are modified to contain specific characteristics such as resistance to herbicides or resistance to pests. The DNA of genetically modified crops has been modified using external genes. Genetic material...
