Could you please elaborate on the various applications of genetic engineering in crop improvement? I'm particularly interested in understanding how it can enhance crop resistance to diseases and pests, as well as improve nutritional value. Additionally, could you discuss the potential risks and challenges associated with the use of genetic engineering in agriculture? How does it compare to traditional breeding methods? I'm also curious to know if there are any environmental concerns or ethical considerations surrounding the utilization of genetic engineering in crop improvement. Thank you for your insights.

To further reduce the reliance on chemical pesticides, genetically modified crops have been developed. These crops possess natural pest-killing abilities, reducing the need for synthetic pesticides.

الخردل المعدل وراثيًا هو محصول آخر معدل وراثيًا يتم تطويره لتحسين مقاومته للضغوط البيئية والآفات.
ومن المتوقع أن يؤدي إدخاله إلى تعزيز الإنتاجية والربحية الإجمالية لزراعة الخردل.

One such example is Bt Cotton, which is genetically modified to produce a protein that is toxic to certain pests but harmless to humans and other animals. This has significantly reduced the need for insecticides in cotton cultivation.

Bt brinjal, another genetically modified crop, offers similar benefits by resisting pests that can otherwise cause significant damage to the crop.
