Transgenic organisms are significant in agriculture because they are genetically modified to express desirable traits. This can include resistance to pests, herbicides, and environmental stressors, leading to increased crop yields and reduced reliance on chemical inputs. Additionally, transgenic technology can enhance nutritional value or enable crops to grow in suboptimal conditions, thereby improving food security. The adoption of transgenic organisms can also promote sustainable farming practices and contribute to biodiversity by reducing the need for land conversion for agriculture.
