Notes- The last several years have seen an explosion of exciting new opportunities for people to
make better use of plants, and throughout this book, we will analyse the various ways in
which these opportunities have emerged.
- It is now possible, for instance, to clean up polluted environments through a process
known as phytoremediation to encourage the growth of plants, to discourage the pests
that feed on them, to keep weeds from growing in crops, and to create hybrids between
plants with a greater degree of accuracy than ever before.
-
- As more discoveries are made and new applications are developed, there is a growing
possibility that there will be exciting advancement in plant biology.
- This potential develops with each passing year.
- The procedures of genetic engineering, which are covered in Chapter 10, make it possible
to accomplish the astounding feat of transferring genes from a virus, a bacterium, an
animal, or a particular plant into an entirely different species of plant in order to produce
specific desirable characteristics in the recipient plant.
- This is accomplished through the use of transgenic technology. Transgenic plants, often
known as GM plants or genetically engineered plants, are plants that have been
genetically modified to contain DNA from completely different species.
-
- These GM plants can be engineered to have amazing and novel traits.
