HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -The “agrobacterium” approach is the following technique for creating genetically modified plants. Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a soil-dwelling bacterium, is used in this process. It has the capacity to spread a piece of its DNA into plant cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Genetic modification of plants involves adding a specific stretch of DNA into the plant’s genome, giving it new or different characteristics. This could include changing the way the plant grows, or making it resistant to a particular disease.

Detailed explanation-3: -In transgenic manipulations, scientists create a new combination of genes, whereas, in selective breeding, genes combine on their own. In transgenic manipulations, we can notice the desirable traits in the next generation, whereas the desirable traits take 2-3 generations to appear as a phenotype in selective breeding.
