GMO V/S Transgenic Plants

-GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms) and transgenic plants are often used interchangeably, but they actually refer to slightly different things. 

🔺GMO

-GMOs refer to any organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. This can include plants, animals, and microorganisms.

🔺Transgenic Plants

-Transgenic plants, on the other hand, specifically refer to plants that have had genes from another species introduced into their DNA using genetic engineering techniques.

Crux

-In essence, all transgenic plants are GMOs, but not all GMOs are transgenic plants.
