What characteristic is often genetically engineered in crop plants?

By far the characteristic that is most often genetically engineered into crop plants is resistance to herbicides, with engineering crops to produce a substance that kills insects into the plant itself a close second.


Role of microorganisms in genetic engineering?

Add bacteia genes to crop plants can improve plant species :)


What are some benefits for genetic engineering in crop plants?

i don't know help me please so i can get a good grademaybe you should look in the TEXTBOOK! that's what I did. it should be on page 341 of your text book. read the defention. its really simple, genetic engineering is messing with the DNA to improve it. so the benefits of engineering plants genetically could be making them healthier, or to grow faster and to be more efficient. don't take that answer it might not be right, hope that helped. -Hannah Hi, my answer might be beneficial to this question:"It may take many generations of breeding for a trait to become homozygous and consistently expressed in the population. Genetic engineering is a faster and more reliable method for increasing the frequency of a specific allele in a population."I received this answer from page 341 in my Glencoe Biology textbook.Good luck on your journey to learning!


What technologies can help farmers produce more crops?

Hydroponics help people to grow crops in areas with poor soil to help feed a growing population. Precision farming can benefit farmers by saving time and money. It also increases crop yields by helping farmers maintain ideal conditions in all fields. Scientists use genetic engineering to produce plants that can grow in a wider range of climates. They are also engineering plants to be more resistant to damage from insects.

What are some risks of genetically engineering plants?

When plants, especially crop plants. are genetically engineered they are completely uniform in all characteristics. They have no genetic diversity. If the crop should be attacked by pests that it has no defense for, all will be affected and perhaps die, and the crop would be totally worthless.
