Talk:Transgenic plant

message: The article gives the following examples that are not the result of transgenesis but of interspecific hybridization. Please, reger to any book of plant brreding! --190.11.137.122 (talk) 02:46, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Interspecific hybridization is not transgenesis

message: Should Triticale also be included within this article?  It is the only "man-made" crop out there.  By crossing wheat and rye, a new species was created with the some of the agronomic characteristics of wheat with drought and disease resistances present within rye.  It also has greater yield potential then both of its parent species.  A successful mixture of these genetics without the use of advanced techniques I believe is of significant merit to add.  May I add this or should it be contained within a different article?

thread_title: Triticale?

message: I changed the units from km^2 back to hectares because hectares are the SI unit for land, particularly agricultural land.  Also, this is a cited reference, so I did not want to change the source's units. Mmolander 05:42, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Units

message: I think that the majority of this article should be moved to Ecological impact of transgenic plants (especailly since that part of the article largely amounts to a research essay) and that the page should further discuss the creation and implementation (including saftey testing for release) of transgenic plants in the lab and the field. I will go ahead with a rewrite in a few days unless I recieve strong objections. --nixie 04:54, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: I think it might make sense for there to be an actual agricultural biotechnology page. Transgenic plants are not the be-all and end-all of agricultural biotechnology, I'm sure. FunnyYetTasty 11:00, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Additional comments

message: The Flavr Savr is discussed as being a transgenic plant, but in reality it isn't. This is becuase it  does not contain genes from two different species. It has an antisense gene added. By the definition of transgenic given in teh first sentence of this article, it should not be discussed as a transgenic plant. I'll probably fix that in a few days. (Also, why all the italian on this page?) --Rajah 04:09, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Definition of transgenic

message: This article was the first time I ever read the term "transgenic" in context with conventional hybrid breeding. I looked for the term in several encyclopaediae, asked several plant breeders and yet no source was able to confirm the use of "transgenic" in any other context than recombination by genetic engineering. I will delete/replace this aspect if nobody will give a reference verifying the use in hybrid breeding, as I plan to add a paragraph on coexistence between transgenic and conventional plants in agriculture anyway.
