The following points highlight the two techniques adopted for genetic modified of tropical fruits. The techniques are: 1. Micro-Propagation 2. Embryo Culture Techniques. 1. Micro-Propagation Technique: Micro grafting, an innovative technique which should be applicable to other tropical and subtropical species, was developed in 1972 for Citrus. Micro grafting of Citrus results in virus-free plants […]

The below mentioned article provides notes on genetic engineering of crops. Genetic engineering of crops became available in the early 1980’s as genetic engineering techniques were being perfected. The advantage of genetic engineering is that it allows the transfer of a single gene, or a couple of genes, in a much more precise, controllable and […]
