    increased resistance to herbicides or improved nutritional content. The enhancement of desired traits has traditionally been undertaken through breeding‚ but conventional plant breeding methods can be very time consuming and are often not very precise. Genetic engineering‚ on the other hand‚ can create plants with the exact desired trait very rapidly and with great accuracy. For example‚ plant geneticists can isolate a gene responsible for drought tolerance and insert that gene into a different plant. The
