what is a genetically engineered plant?

Question

plant engineered

Answer 1

Corn.

Answer 2

Genetic engineering covers both breeding to achieve specific results as well as direct manipulation of plant genes to affect a specific result.

Roses are bred for specific colorations and fragrances. Tomatoes are bred for increased hardiness to prevent bruising during transport. Direct manipulation includes insertion of genes to protect against plant diseases and insects.

Answer 3

A plant that has been modified by including parts of genes from other organisms into it's own genes, with the expectation of it behaving differently to its norm. A classic example would be including genes from the grass that grows on sand dunes into barley, so that the Barley can grow in salty areas, or in much drier conditions. .

Answer 4

These are plants that have been modified on a molecular level to produce more crops, bigger crops, longer lasting crops, all in the endeavour to give people who only have small gardens or window boxes a viable source of home grown food.

Answer 5

one that has been created by genetically modifying it's "parents". scientists have learned a GREAT deal about influencing a plant by modifying a plant's genetic code. One HUGE example: corn!

Answer 6

a plant that has had new stronger genes (life chemicals)to its body berfore it was germinated.like selective breeding in plants rather than cows.

Answer 7

one that has been genetically engineered
