Summary Introduction
Introduction: Genetic engineering is the process of insertion of a target DNA segment consisting of a gene of interest from one organism to another. The inserted DNA segment expresses in the new genetically engineered organism. These are known as genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Genetic engineering is also followed for the plant cells, as a single tissue cell can form an adult plant. This process is known as transformation.
