Plant Genetics
Plant genetic engineering raises exaggerated expectations and induces fear in parts of the population. Responsible application of plant genetic engineering requires that for each plant licensed for cultivation, a risk analysis be made according to strict scientific criteria as to whether the corresponding plant represents a hazard to the environment. It is the study of genes and genetic variation within plants.
