what are transgenic plants
Transgenic plants are only those with genes from other species, whereas genetically modified plants can have both new genes and a re-arrangement of the genes already found in the plant. Traditional breeding methods are one form of genetic modification.cological impact of escaped transgenic plants. One of the greatest fears associated with transgenic plants is what could happen to nearby ecosystems if the transgene escapes from the fields into the wild. If transgenic plants mate with similar wild plants, the transgene could be incorporated into the offspring.
