Genetically modified plants – the debate continues
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2000The debate about the potential risks and benefits of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) has hit the headlines over the past few months. The polarization of much of the debate obscures what really constitutes ecological risk, and what methods we can apply to identify and quantify those risks.

THE POLLINATION OF GENETICALLY MODIFIED PLANTS
Acta Horticulturae, 1991Genetically modified plants have now been produced in many species. An examination of pollination in these plant will be necessary before commercial cultivars are produced. In addition, this technology provides a new tool for the study of cross-pollination. An initial field trial, using tobacco, was carried out in 1989. Results demonstrated that pollen

Are Genetically Modified Plants Useful and Safe?
IUBMB Life, 2005AbstractSo far, plants have been genetically modified essentially to achieve resistance to herbicides, or to pathogens (mainly insects, or viruses), but resistance to abiotic stresses (such as cold, heat, drought, or salt) is also being studied. Genetically modified (GM) plants with improved nutritional qualities have more recently been developed, such

Genetically Modified Plants and Bees
2011Genetically modified crops which have opened new avenues of species alteration has been accompanied by concerns of their adverse effects on nontarget organisms such as bees. GM crops are commercially modified for pest and or herbicide resistance. Transgenes such as BT may be expressed in pollen and in the plant parts and secretions collected by bees ...

Genetically modified plants: the stakes.
Cellular and molecular biology (Noisy-le-Grand, France), 2002Generically modified plants (GMP) are massively used on the American continent in Australia and in China, since they represent an unquestionable potential for progress. New attributes are therefore devoted to the human and animal diet, to the facilitating of culture management, to the reducing of the chemical fertilizer and pesticide usage, and to the ...

Breeding with Genetically Modified Plants
2009Plant breeding aims at the genetic improvement of cultivated plants. Depending on the reproduction system of a plant the breeding process can last up to 15 years for crops and much longer for tree species. The breeding method is determined by the reproductive system of a plant and on the presence of hybrid yield (heterosis).

Federal Regulation of Genetically Modified Plants
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2007Genetically modified plants ("GMPs") are the products of transgenic modification, a process by which a gene from one species (the "transgene") is isolated and inserted into the genome of another species (the "recipient") in order to cause the recipient to produce a protein from the donor species.
