Genetic Engineering

• Another method of genetic modification is gene insertion, where a new gene is added to an organism's DNA to introduce a desired trait.
• The benefits of GM crops include increased yield, improved nutritional value, reduced pesticide use, enhanced resistance to diseases, and tolerance to environmental stressors.
• Genetically modified crops have been developed through various methods such as traditional breeding techniques, mutagenesis, transgenic technology, cisgenics, intragenics, and genome editing.
• Gene editing involves modifying the sequence of nucleotides within a specific region of DNA using enzymes called restriction endonucleases or CRISPR-Cas9 systems.
• The first GMO was developed by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley in 1973.
• In 2018, there were over 45 million hectares planted with genetically engineered crops worldwide.
• Genetically modified organisms (GMO) are created through genetic engineering.
• Insect-resistant crops have been developed by introducing genes from bacteria that produce insecticidal proteins into crop plants.
• Genetic modification involves altering the DNA of an organism to introduce new traits or characteristics.
• Transgenic technology involves the transfer of genes from one species into another using recombinant DNA technology.
• Genetically modified (GM) crops are plants that have been genetically engineered using biotechnology techniques such as recombinant DNA technology or transgenic methods.
• Cisgenics refers to the introduction of genes within the same genus or closely related genera.
• Cisgenics refers to the introduction of genes within the same genus or closely related genera.
• Intragenics involve the manipulation of existing genes within an organism's own genome.
• Intragenics involve the manipulation of existing genes within an organism's own genome.
• Transgenic plants are created by introducing foreign genes into their genomes using vectors like plasmids or viruses.
