The technology employed to achieve the rice variety would be genetic engineering.

What is genetic engineering?

It is a branch of science that has to do with using technology to modify the genome of organisms for specific purposes.

The genome of the subject is modified with a gene of interest in a multi-step process.

  • First, the DNA of interest is isolated
  • A gene that controls the trait of interest is isolated from the DNA
  • The gene is then inserted into the genome of the target organism, a process known as transformation.
