Transgenic seeds or genetic traits (also known as genetically modified or “GM”) have been established for some time now, and have become a trend in what is called agricultural biotechnology. In most cases the goal is to introduce a new trait to the plant which does not exist naturally in that species.
Similarly, what do you mean by transgenic?
Transgenic: Having genetic material (DNA) from another species. This term can be applied to an organism that has genes from another organism. It is understood that the foreign genes are in the transgenic animal's germ-cell DNA and so can be transmitted from one generation to the next.
Subsequently, one may also ask, what are transgenic plants explain?
Transgenic plants are plants that have been genetically engineered, a breeding approach that uses recombinant DNA techniques to create plants with new characteristics. They are identified as a class of genetically modified organism (GMO).
Transgenic Techniques. Transgenics describes the process of introducing foreign deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) into a host organism's genome . The foreign DNA, or "transgene," that is transferred to the recipient can be from other individuals of the same species or even from unrelated species.
