Transgenic technology refers to the use of molecular biology technology to transfer the genes of some organisms to other species, transform the genetic material of organisms, and make the transformed organisms change to the goals needed by human beings in terms of traits, nutrition and consumption quality.

This process of transferring genes by biotechnology is what people often refer to now. There is no essential difference between it and the gene transferred by artificial hybridization, but the gene transfer by biotechnology has a strong purpose-only the needed genes are transferred, and the unnecessary and harmful genes are completely rejected, which can improve efficiency and speed up the process of variety improvement. At the same time, modern transgenic technology can also transfer distant biological genes, even synthetic genes, to the varieties we need.
