ABSTRACT Biotechnology in the form of genetic engineering lends a variety of potential benefits as well as risks. It has improved the production of food by making plants tolerant or resistant to drought‚ frost‚ insects and viruses and also helped plants to compete more effectively against weeds for soil nutrients. The use of genetic engineering however has raised concerns about its potential risks to human life and the environment. The yield‚ the use of nutritive substances and resistance to diseases
