Transgenic biotechnology
Transgenic biotechnology is a field focused on introducing foreign genes into plants to enhance their characteristics, such as resistance to pests, improved nutritional content, and adaptation to environmental stressors. This is achieved by incorporating DNA from other organisms, such as bacteria or animals, into a plant’s genome. For instance, genetically modified crops like Bt cotton and Bt corn have been engineered to produce proteins that deter insect pests, reducing the need for chemical pesticides. This field has revolutionized agriculture by making crops more resilient and productive. However, there is an ongoing debate regarding the environmental and health impacts of transgenic crops, as some concerns arise over biodiversity and potential unintended consequences. Despite these challenges, transgenic biotechnology continues to push forward, shaping the future of sustainable agriculture.
