genetic-transformation

5 articles

Genetic transformation in plants is the process of introducing foreign DNA into plant cells so it is stably incorporated into the genome and expressed in the resulting organism. This technique is foundational to modern plant biotechnology, enabling researchers to study gene function, improve crop traits such as disease resistance and yield, and engineer plants with entirely novel characteristics. It has become an essential tool for both basic plant biology research and the development of improved agricultural varieties.
