Miracle seeds refer to genetically modified seeds that have been engineered for superior qualities such as increased yield, pest resistance or drought tolerance.
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs): These are organisms whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. In our athlete analogy, GMOs would be those who've undergone special training or treatments to enhance their abilities.
Transgenic Plants: These are plants that contain genes transferred from other species. It's like an athlete learning skills from another sport and applying them in his own field.
Biofortification: This is the process of increasing nutritional value of crops through genetic modification. It's like an athlete taking supplements to boost their performance.
