Agricultural productivity is the face of an increasing world population and limited cultivatable land. Plant breeding is one of the few methods available, and one of the most effective, to maintaion and improve productivity without destroying the environment. Gene technology is an essential element in modern plant breeding. Examples of transgenic plants resistant to herbicides, insects and, fungi, and applications related to food quality and the production of valuable chemicals will presented. Because plant genetic engineering is based on the transfer of defined genes, the risks are predictable and can therefore be controlled. Over 1000 field tests of transgenic plants have alresdy been carried out without indication of dangers or unpredicted consequences. Regulations should therefore ensure the safe and efficient use of this essential technology. |
