The relationship of man with plants is since time immemorial and plants provide all fundamental necessities of life. The plants particularly horticulturally grown plants are of high worth because these are screened and man-selected plants to meet their pivotal needs. The horticultural plants are cultivated for coping the needs or for earning livelihood by selling these in local or international markets. Horticulture crops many needs of life and also revenue of life. But due to traditional methods, the yield and productivity has been reduced to low or minimum form. The current era is time of genetic engineering which is technique to induct the desired character in the plant of interest with inserting gene of action through latest biotechnological techniques. The application of genetic engineering and DNA technology has led to the production of novel varieties and cultivars of tomatoes, i.e., “Flavor saver tomato,” which are much popular and productive for good yield and similar is trend for other crops.
