| Description | INTRODUCTION A transgenic crop is a crop that has been improved upon by the incorporation of a gene from another species. Recent advances in molecular techniques have led to the development of methods for the genetic transformation of a wide range of plants. A major advantage that genetic manipulation offers over conventional plant breeding is the ability to improve specific characteristics-including resistance to pestswithout risking the food or feed safety of the crops. Since the technique involves the transfer of genes between unrelated taxa, it greatly increases the pool from which desirable crop improvement traits may be selected.
