Step 1
What are wheat plants with transferred genes for resistance to rust disease known as?
Answer
Wheat plants that have been genetically engineered to include genes from other plants (like rye and wild grasses) for disease resistance are known as transgenic plants. This term is used to describe organisms that have been modified using genetic engineering techniques to incorporate genes from other species.
