Advanced Genetic Engineering Techniques in Crop Development

This exam focuses on genetic engineering techniques utilized in the creation of transgenic crops. Key topics include CRISPR technology, gene cloning, and molecular markers, which are essential for introducing desired traits into plant genomes.

Understanding these techniques is vital for enhancing crop resilience and productivity, directly influencing global food security and sustainability in agriculture. Their application can lead to the development of crops that withstand pests, diseases, and abiotic stresses.

The exam will assess candidates' ability to articulate the underlying principles of genetic engineering, compare different methodologies, and discuss their implications in sustainable agriculture.

Candidates should familiarize themselves with case studies involving successful transgenic crops to provide concrete examples of theoretical concepts during the examination.
