Plant genetic modification involves altering a plant's genetic makeup using biotechnological techniques to achieve desired traits. This process includes the introduction of specific genes to enhance characteristics such as pest resistance, drought tolerance, and nutritional content. Genetic modification is achieved through various methods, including agrobacterium-mediated transformation and CRISPR gene editing. GM crops have been developed to withstand herbicides and pests, reducing reliance on chemical inputs and improving yields. However, the adoption of genetically modified plants raises concerns about biodiversity, ecosystem impacts, and food safety. Regulatory frameworks and public perception play critical roles in determining the future of plant genetic modification in agriculture.
