FAQ About Indoor Plant Genetics and Breeding Techniques

Can genetic modification be used in indoor plant breeding?

While genetic modification can be used in indoor plant breeding to introduce new traits or improve existing ones, its application is limited by regulatory barriers and consumer acceptance issues. Genetic modification involves altering plant DNA to incorporate desirable attributes such as improved pest resistance or tolerance to environmental stress. Traditional selective breeding and crossbreeding remain more common due to these factors.
