Abstract

Genetically modified organism is a result of modern biotechnology in which foreign gene is introduced to the host organism to get desired trait. Various agronomically important crops are genetically modified to obtain resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses, improving nutritional quality, production of pharmaceuticals etc. In this article, authors have covered introduction, products, benefits and risk of transgenic crops.
