ABSTRACT
Fruits and vegetables contain important vitamins, minerals and fibres and are an important part of health diet, and as are all of great significance in agriculture. New varieties with traits achieved through biotechnology processes have played a great role today. Biotechnology of fruit and vegetable production are an aid to conventional breeding and its ability to transfer genes between different organisms. Micropropagation, the mass production of identical plants from tiny buds of the parent plant, is a biotechnique that can eliminate these pathogens from the progeny plants while retaining the advantages of vegetative reproduction. A number of challenges have called for the application of biotechnology in the production of fruits and vegetables. These are population increase, water shortages, climate change, high perishability or postharvest decays, and short shelf-life associated with fruits and vegetables. The transfer of genetic material from one organism into the deoxy ribonucleic acid (DNA) of another called transgenic application has been widely used in fruits and vegetables.
