GENETICALLY MODIFIED CROPS Genetically modified crops is as known as (GM crops) is a crops that the DNA that been change by humans that using a techniques called “genetic engineering”. Genetically modified crops is the source of used in the research to produce more useful and better crops. Genetic engineering is a precise techniques which manipulate the plants in order to combine the genes from another organism to achieve the condition such as it last longer‚ disease resistance and it has diffrent

Genetically modified crops (GMCs‚ GM crops‚ or biotech crops) are plants‚ the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering techniques. In most cases the aim is to introduce a new trait to the plant which does not occur naturally in the species. Examples include resistance to certain pests‚ diseases‚ or environmental conditions‚ or resistance to chemical treatments (e.g. resistance to a herbicide)‚ or the production of a certain nutrient or pharmaceutical agent.
