For agricultural uses. For example: country or area with low precipitation and high droughts will starve if they don't have plants that can survive the harsh conditions such as genetically modified crops being able to take in less water than non genetically modified crops.

Answer:

Genetic modification may be defined as the change in the genetic constitution of the organism. The transgenic organism are also produced by modifying the genes.

Genetic modification of fruits and vegetables are used to increase the quality and quantity. The genetic modification increases the ability to tolerates the wide range of temperature and climatic conditions. The improvement of the important vitamins, minerals and other biological compound can be done by modifying the genome of the fruits and vegetables.
