Genetically modified mustard, particularly the variety developed by Indian researchers known as DMH-11, has garnered significant attention for its potential to enhance agricultural productivity and sustainability. This genetically engineered crop incorporates a gene from the soil bacterium A. tumefaciens, allowing for increased oil content and resistance to certain diseases. Proponents argue that GM mustard can help improve yield in the face of climate change and rising food demand, while also reducing the reliance on chemical pesticides.
