**2. The overall process for developing of genetically modified crops**

The crop plants developed through modification of genetic composition using genetic engineering techniques are referred to as genetically modified (GM) crops, transgenic crops or genetically engineered (GE) crops. The overall process for developing of genetically modified crops illustrated in (**Figure 1**) [7]. Different steps are involved in the genetic transformation work like Identification and isolation of gene of interest (transgene), cloning into suitable plasmid vector and transformation of desired gene into the plant cells, confirmation of transformation by molecular techniques.
