Genetic engineering in agriculture enhances crop traits such as pest resistance and increased yield. Prominent examples of genetically modified crops like Bt Cotton and Golden Rice showcase significant benefits. Methods for gene transfer, including Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and gene guns, are critical for effective genetic modifications, while biosafety and regulatory challenges play crucial roles in the acceptance of GM crops.
