| Summary: | As the Green Revolution begins to sputter amidst a rising world population, more emphasis is being placed on biotechnology, which uses living organisms to produce new or altered products. In transgenesis, scientists are able to remove specific genes from one living organism and transplant them into others, such as vegetables, to create bigger, better, more disease-resistant produce. This program follows the process of transgenesis from the laboratory, to the farmer's field, to the consumer's table. |
