  • Abstract
    Attaining the food and nutritional security for the present as well as future generations is an uphill task. The world faces mounting challenges from increasing population growth, climate changes, and diminishing natural resources. The world must keep on producing enough nutritious and safe food under these adverse conditions. The present scenario points toward the adaptation of crop improvement technologies which are faster and environment-friendly. Genetically modified (GM) crops developed through modern plant biotechnology tools have enormous potential to contribute toward sustainable agricultural development. In this context, our study using several novel genes for crop improvement will be discussed. These GM crops can help us in alleviating many current and future problems in agriculture.
