Solution

Plants are expected to be genetically engineered to have the ability to produce all the essential amino acids.

Explanation:

Plants are genetically engineered to improve nutritional value, such as producing all essential amino acids and enhancing protein quality. Additionally, genetically engineered plants may exhibit other beneficial traits like pest resistance, drought tolerance, and better nutrient efficiency, but not increased fertilizer or water requirements or susceptibility to herbicides. This modification aims to make crops more nutritious and sustainable for consumption and agriculture.
