transfer to indigenous microorganism in soil will then
change the community structure and diversity of soil
microbesIn addition,
released gene products by transgenic plants were hard
to degrade and would persist for a long time (Kremer
and Means, 2005). Effects on soil microorganisms
may arise from changes of physiological and
biochemical characteristics of transgenic plants and
variation of the transgenic genes (Melnitchouck and
Leinweber, 2006). However, minor alterations in the
diversity of the microbial community could affect
the health and function of soil ecosystem (Angle,
1994).
