BY Penelope Judson 2018-04-14Transgenic technology is similar to hybrid technology in that it cultivates crops with excellent traits through gene transfer. The difference is that cross-breeding is based on the mutual exchange of genes in the same organism to achieve complementary advantages. In the process of hybridization, genes are in the form of "batch" To carry out the transfer, and the transgenic technology is highly targeted, and can achieve specific gene transfer between species. The high-yield rice developed by Yuan Longping is a hybrid and is not genetically modified.3
