Question

What is genetic manipulations ? What are product of genetic manipulation s ? What major agronomic traits are incorporated by this technique ?

Answer 1

⇒Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification, is the direct manipulation of an organism's genome using biotechnology.

⇒It is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to produce improved or novel organisms.

⇒The desirable agronomic characteristics incorporated by genetic manipulation:
(i) Tallness and profuse branching in any fodder crop. 

(ii) Dwarfness in cereals.

These desirable agronomic characteristics help in increasing crop productivity.
