Question

application of plant genetic engineering crops improvement​

Answer 1

Crop improvement, the engineering of plants for the benefit of humanity, is as old as agriculture itself. Some 10,000 years ago, primitive people made the transition from hunting and foraging to cultivating crops. With that switch began the continuous process of improving the plants on which we depend for food, fiber, and feed.

Answer 2

The contributions of plant genetics to the production of higher yielding crops of superior quality are well documented. ... These genetic engineering techniques should offer unique opportunities to alter the genetic makeup of crops if applied to existing breeding procedures.
