Detailed explanation-1: -Which would be a desirable trait scientists may want to create in a transgenic plant? The ability to resist insects.
Detailed explanation-2: -Curiosity is most important trait in scientists – Matas Navickas, EUCYS prize winner | Research and Innovation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Transgenic animals have been generated to understand normal physiological processes such as metabolism and blood cell production. Transgenic animals have been used to model human diseases and to develop new treatments. Transgenic crops have been produced that are resistant to infectious diseases and grow faster.
Detailed explanation-4: -Development of transgenic crops Most genetically modified plants are generated by the biolistic method (Particle gun method) or by Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated transformation method.
Detailed explanation-5: -Transgenic crops are bred for a variety of purposes: to be resistant to fungal, bacterial, viral diseases and insect pests, to tolerate herbicides and to grow better under restricting environmental conditions such as drought, high salt or metal containing soils.
