Genetically modified crops is a research field and technological approach focused on plants whose genetic material has been intentionally altered through recombinant DNA technology or other genetic engineering methods to introduce, enhance, or suppress specific traits. This concept encompasses the scientific investigation into the processes of genetic modification, the resulting molecular and phenotypic changes, their performance in agricultural systems, and their environmental and socio-economic impacts. Key characteristics include the targeted alteration of genes to confer desirable traits such as pest resistance, herbicide tolerance, or improved nutritional value, representing a significant area of biotechnological research aimed at enhancing agricultural productivity and sustainability.
