Genetically modified crops
PART 4 Genetically modified cropsBiotechnology encompasses a wide range of technolo-gies and they can be applied for a range of differentpurposes, such as the genetic improvement of plant va-rieties and animal populations to increase their yieldsor efficiency; genetic characterization and conservationof genetic resources; plant or animal disease diagnosis;vaccine development; and improvement of feeds. Someof the technologies may be applied to all the food andagriculture sectors, such as the use of molecular DNAmarkers or genetic modification, while others are moresector-specific, such as tissue culture (in crops and foresttrees), embryo transfer (livestock) or triploidization andsex-reversal (fish).Higher productivity holds the key in the fight against ru-ral poverty.
