Solution:

Plant breeding approaches that use Recombinant DNA technology used for creating new genetically engineered varieties are called transgenic plants. These include agrobacterium mediated gene transfer, gene gun method, etc. It's been used to make varieties with additional nutrient requirement, virus and herbicide resistant, salt tolerance and many more. The first genetically modified crop, an antibiotic-resistant tobacco plant, was produced in 1982.
