Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...

Pea PlantsPea plants played a crucial role in early genetic studies conducted by Gregor Mendel. These plants are ideal for studying inheritance because they exhibit distinct traits, such as flower color and seed shape, that follow predictable patterns. For example, pea plants can be short or tall, produce green or yellow peas, and have round or wrinkled seeds, making it easy to track how traits are passed down. By observing how traits are passed from one generation to the next, scientists can...
