Abstract

The different strategies summarized in the manuscript illustrate some of the most common uses of transgenic plants in research. They have allowed answering several questions of great biological importance that cannot be easily addressed by other approaches. For that reason it is probably correct to state that transgenic plants have revolutionized basic and applied research in plant biology. Its utilization is helping us to better understand how these fascinating and plastic organisms are formed and, when interacting with the environment, responding by changing their form and/or physiology. We still have a lot to learn, and usage of transgenic plants in our research still has a lot to give. To discover more or less depends, partially, on the imagination of researchers.
