explain with an example how how genetically modified plants can enhance the nutritional value of food crops ?
The genetically modified crops are incorporated with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fat content. These GM plants with improved nutritional quality are undertaken to improve the content of proteins, oil, vitamins, minerals, in crops. They are also taken to upgrade the quality of oil and proteins. This process is known as Biofortification .
An example of this is a wheat variety known as Atlas 66, which is known to contain high protein content in comparison to the normal wheat that we use. In addition, there are several other improved varieties of crop plants such as rice, carrots, spinach etc. which have more nutritious value and more nutrients than the existing varieties.
