Agricultural Biotechnology

• Application of Biotechnology in Agriculture involves scientific techniques such as Genetically Modified Organisms, Bt Cotton, Pest Resistant Plants. It helps in modifying plants, animals, and microorganisms and improve their agricultural productivity. Techniques like vaccines, tissue culture, genetic engineering are also used.

Transgenic Plants

• Manipulating the DNA of plants (creating genetically modified organisms, or GMOs) has helped create desirable traits such as disease resistance, herbicide, and pest resistance, better nutritional value, and better shelf life. Plants are the most important source of food for the human population. Staples like corn, potatoes, and tomatoes were the first crop plants to be genetically ....
