Genetically modified plants - assesments and perspectives

Abstract

Creation of new genotypes can be realized by using conventional plant breeding and recently by using new biotechnology. Classical breeding technology represents long-term process of genotype creation. New biotechnological methods make possible to overcome this problem and develop transgenic plants for specific utilization. Application of new technology makes it possible to transfer gene to the crop plants by genetic manipulations encoding the desirable traits and developing new genetically modified plants. In this review paper data on research of genetically modified organisms, development of new technology in plant breeding and possibility of its application and intellectual property rights protection in plant breeding will be presented.
