Abstract

Fertile transgenic wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plants have been produced during the past few years (Vasil et. al 1993, Weeks et al. 1993, Becker et al., Nehra et. al 1994). At the end of 20th century the fundamental discoveries made in the field of molecular biology and cell and tissue culture have initiated a biological revolution in plant breeding and agricultural production. The first genetically engineered food crops have been introduced into the market in some countries (Nehra et al 1995), but several questions have been under discussion. The fate of transgene is an up-to-date question in plant genetic and breeding research.
