Answer Title
Answer
Plant molecular farming is the growing of plants in agriculture to produce pharmaceutical or industrial
compounds instead of food, feed, or fibre. The possibilities range from the manufacture of medical
products, such as pharmaceuticals (drugs) and vaccines, to the production of products like biodegradable plastics and industrial chemicals.

Green biotechnology is biotechnology applied to agricultural processes. It is  the designing of an organism
to grow under specific environmental conditions or in the presence or absence of certain agricultural chemicals.
Green biotechnology tends to produce environmentally more friendly solutions than traditional industrial agriculture.
An example of this is the engineering of a plant to express a pesticide, thereby reducing the need for external
application of pesticides.

See Answer
Transgenic crops with TPS will not spread their genes to surrounding plants.
The TPS genes are transferred on pollen, so any plant pollinated by a TPS plant will produce dead seeds.
This would prevent accidental gene flow from transgenic crops to wild plant populations.
Companies may develop improved crop varieties .If a seed company knows it will be able to "protect its
investment" in the development of new varieties, including transgenics, by preventing farmers from saving seed and replanting from year to year, more effort will be put into the development of improved varieties.

See Answer
Conventional breeding is a method in which genes for pesticidal traits are introduced into a plantthrough
natural methods, such as cross-pollination. For a plant-incorporated pesticide, one wouldbreed a plant that
produces a pesticide with a sexually compatible plant that does not possess thisproperty but possesses other
properties of interest to the breeder, e.g., sweeter fruit. Then, out of theoffspring, the breeder would choose the offspring plant that produces the pesticide, and thereforeexpresses the desired pesticidal trait, as well as
producing sweeter fruit. Genetically engineered plant-incorporated protectants are created through a process that utilizes several different modern scientific techniques to introduce a specific pesticide-producing gene into aplant?s DNA genetic material. For example, a desired gene that produces a desired pesticides (e.g., the insecticidal protein Bt from the bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis) can be isolated from anotherorganism, such as a bacterium, and then inserted into a plant. The desired gene becomes part of theplant?s DNA. The plant then expresses the incorporated gene and produces the pesticidal protein as itwould one of its own omponents.
