Recombinant DNA technology is a biotechnological procedure that allows scientists to manipulate DNA for practical purposes, because the genes of an organism are changed and its DNA is recombined during the process. Recombinant DNA technology offers the potential to create genetically modified plants with desirable features such as higher biotic and abiotic stress tolerance in plants, as well as improved flexibility for better survival. In comparison to natural recombination or traditional breeding methods, recombinant DNA technology allows for faster, cheaper, and more accurate insertion of specific features from many sources into the plant genome. In this article we will discuss about multiple steps, tools and other specific procedure followed in the recombinant DNA technology, which is used for producing artificial DNA to generate the desired product.
