Dear student,
 
Genetic manipulation is a process in which genes of desirable characters are taken from a plant and transferred to another plant by the technique of hybridization. Genetic manipulation helps in obtaining desirable agronomic characters liked Dwarfness in cereals and tallness and profuse branching in fodder crops.
