Detailed explanation-1: -Third, plant transformation during genetic engineering allows the introduction of new genes into vegetatively propagated crops such as banana (Musa sp.), cassava (Manihot esculenta), and potato (Solanum tuberosum). These features make genetic engineering a powerful tool for enhancing resistance against plant pathogens.
Detailed explanation-2: -They can replace a gene that is missing or is causing a problem. They can add genes to the body to help treat disease. Or they can turn off genes that are causing problems.
Detailed explanation-3: -For GMO crops that are resistant to insect damage, farmers can apply fewer spray pesticides to protect the crops. GMO crops that are tolerant to herbicides help farmers control weeds without damaging the crops.
Detailed explanation-4: -The production of pathogen-resistant transgenic plants has been achieved by this method; certain genes are inserted into the plant’s genome that confer resistance to such pathogens as viruses, fungi, and insects.
