Detailed explanation-1: -Plant biotechnologies that assist in developing new varieties and traits include genetics and genomics, marker-assisted selection (MAS), and transgenic (genetic engineered) crops.
Detailed explanation-2: -Biotechnology in agriculture has found application in rDNA technology, tissue culture, somatic hybridization, embryo rescue, molecular diagnostics, etc. All of these tend to increase productivity in agriculture and protect crops from damage or infestation.
Detailed explanation-3: -With genetic engineering, however, any gene from any organism can be transferred to a different organism. Thus, that allows a snippet of DNA that codes for an insecticidal protein from a bacterium, such as Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), to be transferred into a corn or cotton plant.
Detailed explanation-4: -USE OF BIOTECHNOLOGY IN PLANT BREEDING These tools permit: an acceleration of the selection process, new genetic combinations that are not possible through conventional breeding, and. greater precision in the desired modifications of the genome.
