Abstract

The review surveys experimental data on changes of individual traits in genetically modified (transgenic) plants. The attention is focused on mutations induced by T-DNA insertions upon Agrobacterium-induced transformation of dicotyledonous plants. The character of mutation appearance in transgenic plants is examined. The prospects of mutations induced by T-DNA insertions are considered.
