Abstract

ABSTRACT: Applied biotechnology in agriculture provides means to strengthen, improve and protect plants against the action of bad weather, pests and pathological agents that could affect the plant in its development process. The genetic transformation of plants brings the possibility of the functional validation of individually selected genes, such as the direct exploitation of transgenics in genetic improvement. In view of the fact that Brazil is one of the largest producers of transgenic foods, the objective of this work is to bring information about biotechnology as an auxiliary tool for the development of agriculture, seeking to highlight the strengths and most important aspects of this area. On producing this article, the aim was to analyze the scientific work carried out in the area of biotechnology applied to transgenic plants, their advantages and benefits in agriculture. By analyzing the data obtained in the scientific papers reviewed, it was possible to identify that transgenic foods have several advantages for agriculture and the economy, such as: resistance to pests and diseases; increased productivity; cost reduction; decreased use of pesticides, herbicides and defenders; greater tolerance to environmental and climatic conditions; introduction of new characteristics to the species from the alteration of the genome and generation of antibodies in these transgenic species.
