The first transgenic plant to be produced is_______

🔑 Key Points
➡️ Concept:
The first genetically modified crop is tobacco, produced by China. It is an antibiotic-resistant tobacco plant developed in 1982.

➡️ Rice:
→ Golden rice is considered the first genetically modified rice crop.
→ It is rich in Vitamin A, with a color similar to turmeric.

➡️ Cotton:
→ Bt cotton was the first crop where pest resistance was successfully incorporated into the cotton plant.

➡️ Brinjal:
→ Bt brinjal is a genetically modified crop.
→ Bt is derived from a soil bacterium called Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt).

📝 Additional Information:
➡️ Resistant Genes:
→ Resistant genes are incorporated into transgenic plants to provide immunity against biological components such as insects, viruses, etc.
