Sep 9, 2022 · Traditional plant breeding techniques are very time-consuming and often unsuccessful. In contrast, genetic modification (GM) is targeted more precisely; thus, genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have a given property, and currently, the adverse effects of natural long-term breeding are eliminated.
