Transgenic Plants

Research in plant molecular and cell biology have generated new concepts and techniques toward a greater understanding of the regulation of biochemical and .physiological aspects of plant differentiation and development. It also permits the genetic manipulations of complex traits of agronomic importance associated with crop quality and quantity, reproductive biology and resistance to disease stress. The best successful molecular biologically-based application of commercial importance are concerned with the engineering of plants with enhanced resistance to viral diseases, insect pests, herbicides and extending the shelf-life of fruit.
