Mar 31, 2020 · Main conclusion While transgenic technology has heralded a new era in crop improvement, several concerns have precluded their widespread acceptance. Alternative technologies, such as cisgenesis and genome-editing may address many of such issues and facilitate the development of genetically engineered crop varieties with multiple favourable traits. Abstract Genetic engineering and plant ...
Sep 23, 2019 · Genetically modified crops have made significant contributions to address the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, in particular goals 1 (reducing poverty) and 2 (reducing hunger). While increased yields have contributed to higher household incomes, which reduce poverty, the increased yields have also enhanced household food security.

Dec 10, 2021 · The Safety, Benefits and Future of Genetically Modified Organisms. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have been suggested as a way to feed the world’s increasing population, but there have also been questions about what impact—if any—they have on health. This Food Savvy Friday article will explore the safety, benefits and future of GMOs.
Nov 17, 2022 · The application of genetic engineering, a modern biotechnology technique ,offers the possibility of accelerating productivity and further enhancement of crop quality through gene transfer. Genetically modified (GM) crops are engineered using recombinant DNA techniques. Through gene transfer, traits that confer resistance to diseases, pests ...
