Environmental impacts of genetically modified plants: A review

Environmental Research, 2017
Powerful scientific techniques have caused dramatic expansion of genetically modified crops leading to altered agricultural practices posing direct and indirect environmental implications. Despite the enhanced yield potential, risks and biosafety concerns associated with such GM crops are the fundamental issues to be addressed.

Genetically modified plants as fish feed ingredients

Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2011
Genetically modified (GM) plants were first grown commercially more than 20 years ago, but their use is still controversial in some parts of the world. Many GM plant varieties are produced in large quantities globally and are approved for use in fish feeds both in Norway and the European Union.

THE POLLINATION OF GENETICALLY MODIFIED PLANTS

Acta Horticulturae, 1991
Genetically 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

Effects of plants genetically modified for insect resistance on nontarget organisms.

Annual Review of Entomology, 2005
Insect resistance, based on Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) endotoxins, is the second most widely used trait (after herbicide resistance) in commercial genetically modified (GM) crops.

Are Genetically Modified Plants Useful and Safe?

IUBMB Life, 2005
AbstractSo 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

Degradation of low molecular weight volatile organic compounds by plants genetically modified with mammalian cytochrome P450 2E1.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2008
Cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) is a key enzyme in the mammalian metabolism of several low molecular weight volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as trichloroethylene (TCE), vinyl chloride (VC), carbon tetrachloride (CT), benzene, chloroform, and ...

Genetically modified plants – the debate continues

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2000
The 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.
