A transgenic plant contains a gene or genes which have been artificially inserted in the plant instead of pollination. The inserted gene sequence may come from another distinct plant, or from a completely different species for example, transgenic Bt corn, which produces its own insecticide, contains a gene from a bacterium.
Transgenic plant technology enables plant breeders to generate more useful and productive crop varieties containing new combinations of genes. With the help of this technology plant breeders have been able to generate disease resistant, high yielding and climatic change tolerant plants
Transgenic plant technology is surely going to revolutionize the agricultural sector.
The National Institute of Science and Media has wide-range of books on biotechnology and other branches of science.
Joel Ball, the lead author on the various titles published under the NISM name is a renowned figure in the scientific and publishing circle.
