Bacillus thuringiensis: ecology, the significance of natural genetic modification, and regulation
1Birkbeck College, Biology Department, University of London, Malet Street, WC1E 7HX, London, UK.
Abstract:
Legislation and regulation in respect of genetically modified microorganisms must be based on rick-assessment principles rather than on the current European concept of pathogenicity, which is a measure of hazard. Natural genetic modification has commerical attractions where the processes can be exempted from regulation. Bacillus thuringiensis is used to illustrate this in the context of the European Directives and UK regulation.

Transgenic Plants
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...
