Genetic engineering in agriculture

One of the most often stated instances of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is agricultural plants. Increased crop yields, lower costs for food or drug production, less need for pesticides, improved nutrient composition and food quality, resistance to pests and disease, increased food security, and medical benefits for the world's expanding population are some advantages of genetic engineering in agriculture. Additionally, progress has been made in creating crops that mature more quickly and can withstand environmental stresses such drought, cold, boron, salt, and drought; these traits enable plants to grow in environments where they could not normally thrive (Table Takeda & Matsuoka, 2008). The creation of non-protein (bioplastic) or non-industrial (ornamental plant) products are examples of additional uses. Additionally, a variety of species have undergone genetic engineering to boost yield and Salmon and cattle have been genetically modified to reduce disease susceptibility, such as larger growth faster maturation, and resistance to mad cow disease.
