HGT IN GMOs? “How serious is the threat of HGT from transgenic plants to bacteria? Transgenic plant-to-microbe HGT has been shown to occur under experimental conditions when the bacteria already contained a form of the plant transgene, but gene transfer from transgenic plants to bacteria has never been shown occurring in the field.” Quaint at best.
