Plant genetic engineering has enabled the development of crops that produce their own pesticides, reducing the need for chemical pesticides. This innovation is environmentally friendly and enhances crop yield. How Plant Genetic Engineering Works Plant genetic engineering involves altering the DNA of a plant to achieve a desired trait, such as resistance to pests. This is done by adding a ...

Imagine walking into a lush green field with lines and rows of crops, each one tall-standing against months of heat or rains unannounced. But these crops are no ordinary crops: They have come from painstaking years of research in conjugation with path-breaking genetic engineering aimed at trying to offset some of the catastrophic consequences of climate change. Permit me to ...
