Not only can genes be transferred from one plant to another‚ but genes from non-plant organisms also can be used. Some advantages of the GM foods are 1.Herbicide tolerance: Farmers only require one application of herbicide instead of multiple applications‚ reducing production cost and limiting the dangers of agricultural waste. 2.Disease resistance: There are many viruses‚ fungi and bacteria
