Designer genes: Technical tinkering 04/06/2021 - 13:15 Scientists have been using cellular scissors to fashion plants with increased resistance to certain viruses. © FRANCE 24 8 min Faced with global food insecurity and an ever-changing climate, we expect farmers to produce more and to do so using sustainable techniques. While crops naturally evolve over time, we now want them to adapt to our demands at an unprecedented rate. The Down to Earth team takes a closer look. Advertising New Breeding Techniques vs. Genetically Modified Organisms In contrast with traditional genetic modification , new breeding techniques (NBTs) do not introduce foreign DNA into an organism.
