Answer:
Genetic manipulation is a process where the desired genes are isolated from one organism (plant) and transferred to the other organism (plant) by using the hybridization technique. Genetic manipulations help in obtaining traits which are not possible naturally such as dwarfness in cereals, tall and profuse branching in fodder crops. It helps in obtaining higher yield, resistance to pests, less maturity period, resistance to severe environmental conditions such as droughts, high alkalinity, floods etc.
