About this document

Transgenic Plant Traits for Agriculture by ROJA BINTE AMIN is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document discusses genes and traits that have been manipulated in transgenic plants. It describes how herbicide resistance was one of the first transgenic traits used widely in agriculture by introducing genes for glyphosate and glufosinate resistance. Insect resistance has been achieved by introducing genes for Bt toxins. Pathogen resistance has been conferred by introducing single plant resistance genes that recognize specific pathogen virulence factors. Additional traits of interest include abiotic
