Abstract

India occupies a prominent position in the World as 1st prime producer of fruits and vegetables, its production of fruits and vegetables during 2018-19 which is around 314.5 million tons (mt) [1]. Further, India ranks first in the production of some important tropical fruits in innumerable varieties. We incur an enormous loss in our total production, which is estimated to be nearly 30-40%, causing drastic loss to fruit and vegetable industries. Genetically modified (GM crops can help us to meet the demand of high yielding, nutritionally -balanced, biotic and abiotic stress tolerant crop varieties [2].
