Biotechnology has opened unprecedented avenues for exploring biological systems. One of the key techniques in genetic engineering is gene transfer, which involves transfer of recombinant DNA into plant cells to generate transgenic plants. Genes and genomes from a wide range of organisms are being manipulated for the benefit of mankind. Application of genetic engineering in agriculture has produced significant achievements such as yield improvement of major food crops.
