How genetic engineering differs from conventional breeding ...
genetic engineering IS NOT AN EXTENSION OF conventional PLANT breeding ; How genetic engineering differs from conventional breeding , hybridization, wide crosses and horizontal gene transfer by Michael K. Hansen, Research Associate Consumer Policy Institute/Consumers union January, 2000 genetic engineering is not just an extension of conventional breeding . In fact, it differs profoundly. As a general rule, conventional breeding develops new plant varieties by the process of selection, and seeks to achieve expression of genetic material which is already present within a species. (There are exceptions, which include species hybridization, wide crosses and horizontal gene transfer, but they are limited, and do not change the overall conclusion, as discussed later.)
