GENETIC MANIPULATION OF CROPS: HOST PLANT RESISTANCE INTRODUCTION: Agriculture is expected to feed an increasing human population. Although the rate of population growth is steadily decreasing, the increase in absolute number of people to be fed may be such that the carrying capacity of agricultural lands could soon reached given current technology. New technologies, such as biotechnologies, if properly focused, offer an possible way to enhance productivity for now and the future.
OBJECTIVES:
1. To identify and be familiarized with the genetically modified crops.
2. To explain the importance and contribution of the new technologies in crop characteristics to crop production.
