Measuring degradation of transgenic DNA and screening for horizontal gene transfer from GMO-plant material during composting

Published: Jan 1, 2004
Abstract
The experiments show that composting of GM plant residues greatly increases the rate of degradation of transgenic DNA compared to the rate for plant residues left in the soil. If the persistence of transgenic DNA in the environments is considered as the only risk factor, composting is a 'DNA-safe' method to treat GM plant residues. However, even though transgenic plant DNA was not detected in bacterial isolates in our experiments, we cannot...
