3. Types
Transgenic plants have genes inserted into them, deriving from other species. The inserted genes can come from species within the same kingdom (plant to plant) or between kingdoms (bacteria to plant). In many cases, the inserted DNA has to be modified slightly in order to correctly and efficiently express in the host organism. Transgenic plants are used to express proteins, like the cry toxins from Bacillus thuringiensis, herbicide resistant genes and antigens for vaccinations.7
Cisgenic plants are made up of using genes, found within the same species or a closely related one, where conventional plant breeding can occur. Some breeders and scientists argue that cisgenic modification is useful for plants that are difficult to crossbreed by conventional means (such as potatoes). Those plants in the cisgenic category should not require the same level of legal regulation as other genetically modified organisms.8
