The Effect of Transgenic Plants on Rhizosphric Soil Ecosystems / 中国生物工程杂志

ABSTRACT

Along with the transgenic plant planting more and more popular in the world,the influence of transgenic plants on ecological environment was widely given attention and the comprehensive research had been done on effect of transgenic plants in soil ecosystems.The latent risks of transgenic plants to the soil ecosystem were reviewed.Also,the study on decomposition of transgenic plants in soil,the vertical and horizontal transfer possibility of recombinant DNA by transformation,as well as the influence of the exogenous gene and its expression product on soil animals,soil microbes as well as soil physical and chemical properties were also discussed,all of which would provide useful information for utilization of transgenic plants more safely in future.
