Recent Achievements Through Genetic Engineering in Crops
Introduction
Genetic engineering (also called genetic modification) is a process that uses laboratory-based technologies to alter the DNA makeup of an organism.
Genetic engineering in crops has revolutionized agriculture by enhancing crop yield, resistance to pests and diseases, tolerance to environmental stress, and nutritional value. Below is an overview of key achievements in this field:
Achievements:
1970s
1973: Creation of the first genetically modified organism (GMO) by Stanley Cohen and Herbert Boyer, marking the foundation of modern genetic engineering techniques.
