FAQ About Technological Advancements in Indoor Plant Breeding

Genetic engineering techniques in indoor plant breeding include CRISPR-Cas9 for precise genome editing, gene silencing through RNA interference (RNAi), and the use of transgenic plants where genes from other species are introduced. These techniques enable breeders to enhance traits such as drought resistance, pest resistance, improved yield, and nutritional content. Such technologies can significantly reduce the time needed to develop new plant varieties compared to traditional breeding methods.
