“Transgenics” or GMOs are defined as those organisms with
a gene or genetic construct of interest that has been introduced
by molecular or recombinant DNA techniques
• The power of this technique lies in its ability to move genes from one organism to crop plants to impart novel characteristics
• It is possible to transfer genetic material from algae, bacteria, viruses or animals to plants or to move genes between sexually incompatible species
Transgenics
Gene gunGene gun
Transformation by Gene gun
Application of GM technology• Improving yield
• Nutritional improvement
• Increasing shelf life of fruits and vegetables by delayed ripening
• Conferring resistance to insects, pests and viruses
• Tolerance to abiotic stresses (drought, salt, water-logging)
• Herbicide tolerance
• Edible vaccines
