Definition of Transgenic Plants
Plants that have had specific traits inserted into their genomes through various genetic engineering techniques are known as Transgenic Plants.
Transgenic Plants
Transgenic Plants are those Plants whose genome is modified using different tools of genetic engineering technology to insert the trait of our interest. These traits do not naturally occur, so we need to modify Plants’ genetic material. An example of the first Transgenic Plant is tobacco, which was developed in 1983.
Transgenic Plants are created for numerous benefits such as to resist biotic and abiotic stress, to increase nutritional value, etc. In this chapter, we will learn about techniques for creating Transgenic Plants, their function, and their importance.
