Abstract

Genetic modification of plants by man have been and continue to be central to our development of efficient agriculture. Natural genetic barriers, however, have established limits on manipulations possible to extend genetic rearrangements for enhanced productivity. In order to overcome these natural barriers, genetic engineering of plants has long been a goal of plant breeders and geneticists. The early work was controversial. It will not be reviewed here since recent developments have made the controversy mute. (For historical perpective see 19,20 and references therein.)
