Genetic Engineering: Purpose and Basic Steps | Biotechnology
In this article we will discuss about the purpose and basic steps of genetic engineering. Purpose of Genetic Engineering: The interest in genetic engineering principally is due to its varied applications (Fig. 22.1): 1. Production of varieties of plants having particular desirable characteristics (e.g., resistance or tolerance to disease, drought, 'development of CMS line, etc.). 2. Improvement in the production [...]
