In agriculture a relevant aspect is the better adaptation of plants to specific environmental conditions that can be gained using genetic engineering techniques: this includes the better adaptation of crop plants to the changing environmental conditions, including climate change, increased UV radiation, changed rainfall patterns. Plants may be able to be more resistant to drought, flooding, salinity or sensitivity to heavy metals, so that they can be grown in areas of the earth currently beyond the tolerance range of species, or even those areas unable to be used for agriculture at all. Furthermore, other environments could be considered: tolerance to low temperature is also important, and, for example, an antifreeze gene from an arctic fish has been transferred to soybean, with the goal of creating plants tolerant to low temperature. Another aspect is related to chemical problems connected with plants growth: aluminum toxicity is a problem in low pH soils, where it may reduce plant growth. By making plants tolerant, they could grow better in such soils. GeDetic modifications could lead to an increased disease and pest resistance and to the production of new cultivars with improved pest and disease resistance to promote more environmentally acceptable alternatives for food production. The genetic manipulation could lead finally to the utilization of new raw materials: traditional foods often involve consumption of only one or several parts of a plant, for example fruits, leaves, roots, or stems. Plants grown in one culture for roots fnay be eaten for their leaves in another, such as beetroot. Some plants may be eaten by humans in one culture, such as the plant rape in Japan, whereas it is used for rapeseed oil production in Europe.

像鸟儿一样地飞翔，摆脱地心引力的束缚，自由自在地在天空翱翔,让风“沙沙”地 掠过我们伸展的翅膀——谁没有做过这样的美梦？飞行是人类最古老的梦想，也许要追溯到穴居人时代。那时候，当他们在地面上追捕 动物弄得筋疲力尽时，仰头看着在头顶上飞翔的鸟儿，无限向往。虽然有三分之二的生物能 飞翔，但人类却被困在地面上。多少个世纪以来，勇敢无畏的开拓者试图模仿鸟儿飞行：用人工制造的翅膀去冲破地心引力的牢笼。然而，像牛顿看到过的苹果落地一样，许多人坠地身亡。 虽然历史上有过一些最有才华的人曾经致力于解 决这个难题，但这个梦想直到1903年12月一个寒冷的早晨才得以实现。当时，美国有对兄弟从北 卡莱罗纳州的沙滩上腾空而起，给人类添上了双翼。随着莱特兄弟奥威尔与威尔伯的开天辟地一系列飞行，人类飞行的时代终于到来了。
