Ranking Genetically Modified Plants According to Familiarity

Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics, 2002
In public debate GMPs are oftenreferred to as being unnatural or a violationof nature. Some people have serious moralconcerns about departures from what is natural.Others are concerned about potential risks tothe environment arising from the combination ofhereditary material moving across naturalboundaries and the limits of scientificforesight of long ...

Genetically Modified Plants and Bees

2011
Genetically 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 ...

Breeding with Genetically Modified Plants

2009
Plant 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).

Genetically modified plants and the precautionary principle

Journal of Risk Research, 2004
The European regulation of genetically modified plants is a particular example of technological risk management that has become an essential part of the management of change. The role of regulators in this management process, when there are demands for regulatory action concerning unquantified (and sometimes unquantifiable) technological risks – with ...

Federal Regulation of Genetically Modified Plants

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2007
Genetically 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.

Tolerance to aluminum in genetically modified tobacco plants

Cytology and Genetics, 2007
Genetically modified tobacco plants tolerant to high aluminum concentrations were developed by integration of constructs containing rhamnolipid genes (rhlA and rhlB). At an aluminum concentration of 200 mM in ionite soil, the control plants perished, whereas the transgenic plants, although they were inhibited, continued to grow and produced seeds.

Genetically modified plants for tactical systems applications [PDF]

SPIE Proceedings, 2002
Plants are ubiquitous in the environment and have the ability to respond to their environment physiologically and through altered gene expression profiles (they cannot walk away). In addition, plant genetic transformation techniques and genomic information in plants are becoming increasingly advanced.
