Abstract

Genetically modified crops are new products of agriculture biotechnology. Rice is one of the top food crops that are modified genetically to fulfill the increasing food demand of the world. However, the benefits and risks of genetically modified crops are the topics of hot debate. Limited reports regarding the effects of genetically modified rice on the structure and function of soil microbial communities are available. Moreover, conclusions based on these studies are very perplexing and create a state of confusion regarding the impact of GM rice and their released products on soil microbiota and ecosystem. Few of the reports on transgenic rice recommend that if the transgene products from the GM rice become accumulated more than their utilization and/or biodegradation, it might cause accretion of these products in the soil beyond their safety level which may cause the long-term impact on the soil ecosystem including soil micro-fauna and micro-flora. Temporal and spatial factors are too much important in determining the influence of GM rice on communities of soil microbes and environment. Therefore, the following chapter is prepared to gather the information regarding the impact of GM rice and its residues on the soil microbial communities. In the first part, a brief description on the interaction of GM crops with soil microbes is presented, and in the second part studies regarding the impact of transgenic crops on the soil microbial communities are reviewed. At the end, a framework to evaluate the effect of GM rice on soil ecosystem relative to its parental variety is suggested.
