Question
Chapter 10.3, Problem 18CYP
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The techniques for genetically modifying plants.
Introduction:
Genetic modification is a useful way to obtain plants that are resistant to pests, diseases and environmental stress. It is also possible to create food plants with better nutritional value. Therefore, various strategies have been explored for modifying plant genomes.
