Plants whose DNA is modified using genetic engineering techniques
are known as transgenic plants. In most cases the aim is to
introduce a new trait to the plant which does not occur naturally
in this species. Examples include resistance to certain pests,
diseases or environmental conditions, or the production of a
certain nutrient or pharmaceutical agent. This book gathers and
presents current research on transgenic plants including an
examination of the release, persistence and transport of transgenic
plant DNA in saturated and unsaturated mediums, such as soils and
sediments; high-efficient plant cultivation with artificial light
sources; the impact of three antibiotics on seed germination,
hydroponic growth and nutritional qualities of vegetables; growth
responses of Bt and non-Bt cottons to soil phosphorous, copper and
cadmium levels; site-specific recombination systems for genome
manipulation in transgenic plants; and amplification of small
interfering RNAs in transgenic plants.
