Genetically engineered crops are those crop plants that are
transformed with transgenes of desired traits into their nuclear
genome using recombinant DNA technology. The common strategies used
for plant transformation are by exploiting natural gene transfer by
soil bacterium, Agrobacterium tumefaciens and by using gene guns
where gold microcarriers coated with desiccated DNA are delivered
using pneumatic pressure. Transgenic technology has expanded the
scope of conventional breeding by breaking the restrictions
inflicted by traditional cross-pollination and selection
techniques. This book presents research in the study of genetically
engineered crops, including the promise of transgenic breeding for
future agriculture and the public concerns over genetically
modified plants; and genetically modified crop safety assessment
protocol.
