How is rice genetically modified?
Rice can be genetically modified by introducing foreign genes into its DNA to achieve desired traits, such as pest resistance, herbicide tolerance, or higher nutritional content. This process involves using biotechnology tools to modify the rice plant's genetic makeup in a precise and controlled manner. The genetically modified rice plants can then express the desired traits, providing potential benefits such as increased productivity or reduced environmental impact.
