About The Book
Agricultural biotechnology is an advanced technology that allows plant breeders to make precise genetic changes to impart beneficial traits to the crop plants we rely on for food and fibre. Depending on which genes are transferred, agricultural biotechnology can protect crops from diseases, increase their yield, improve their nutritional content, or reduce pesticide use. By enhancing the nutritional value of foods, biotechnology can help to improve the quality of basic diets. Agricultural biotec
