How does genetic research help in the field of agriculture?

Answer 1

We can modify crops with genetic engineering

By changing their DNA, genetically modified organisms (GMOs) can make crops more resilient to insects, grow all year round, and do a host of other things.

Genetic research in agriculture facilitates the development of crops with desirable traits, such as resistance to pests and diseases, improved yield, and enhanced nutritional content. This allows for the creation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) that can address specific challenges in crop cultivation, leading to increased productivity, sustainability, and resilience in agricultural systems. Additionally, genetic research enables the identification of markers for selective breeding, expediting the traditional breeding process for desired characteristics in plants and animals.
