State
Genomics identifies which genes underlie a desirable agricultural trait, letting researchers transfer that trait between organisms more directly than traditional breeding.
Show
Identifying the genes behind drought tolerance in one crop variety lets researchers transfer that trait toward a drought-sensitive variety.
Watch for
Identifying a trait's genes is a genomic finding — transferring the trait still requires the genetic-engineering techniques covered earlier.
