About

    Transgenic plants are plants that have been genetically modified to contain genes from a different species. This process involves inserting foreign genes into the plant's genome using biotechnology techniques. The goal of creating transgenic plants is to enhance desirable traits such as resistance to pests or diseases, improved nutrient content, or increased yield. These genetically modified plants have been widely studied and are used in agriculture to address various challenges in crop production. However, there is debate and concern about the potential environmental impact and safety of consuming transgenic plants.
