Abstract

A safe and sufficient food supply is essential for humanity. Agricultural biotechnology is only one factor
among many influencing the health and welfare of farmers and other citizens in the developing world. As
biotechnology continues to evolve, factual and open public discourse is vital to define the role it should
play in society. The constant pressure due to biotic stresses, not only limits the productivity but also
destabilizes the production. Genetic engineering is one of the potential tools to provide a abundance of
beneficial plant traits, particularly an enhanced ability to withstand or resist attack by plant pathogens.
Plant resistance genes and the genes involved in resistance reactions are being identified and
engineered into crop plants to protect them against plant diseases.
