At the same time, biotech plants with traits of interest to the poor — drought and salinity tolerance, disease resistance, or enhanced nutrition — are receiving little attention.

同时，与穷人相关的特性-耐旱耐盐碱、抗病害或营养增强-的生物技术作物亦很少得到关注。

Their genes are being tweaked to increase the plants' drought-resistance and improve their absorption of nitrogen.

他们正在修饰基因以增强作物抗旱和吸收氮的能力。

All the developments of drought-resistance and higher yields and all the rest have been done verbally so far.

"We're looking for genes that could improve taste or color" and plants with good drought resistance, said botanist Sarada Krishnan, Denver Botanic Gardens director of horticulture.

These technologies increase crop yields and offer a variety of crop-specific benefits, including better nutrients, improved resistance to pests, drought-resistance and other characteristics that allow farmers to grow more with less environmental impact.
