Transgenic rice is a type of rice that has undergone genetic modifications for agricultural purposes. Natural movement of genes between species, often called horizontal gene transfer or lateral gene transfer, can occur with rice because of gene transfer mediated by natural processes. There is new scientific literature about natural transgenic events in plants, through movement of natural mobile DNAs called MULEs between rice and Setaria millet ref http biology.plosjournals.org perlserv ?request get document&doi 10.1371 journal.pbio.0040035 PLoS Biology 2006 Jumping Genes Cross Plant Species Boundaries.

File Transgenic hydra endo.gif thumb upright 2.0 Green fluorescent protein GFP marked endodermal epithelial cells in Hydra genus Hydra Cnidarians such as Hydra genus Hydra have become attractive model organisms to study the evolution of Immunity medical immunity . However, despite long term efforts, stably transgenic animals could not be generated, severely limiting the functional analysis of gene s. For analytical purposes, therefore, an important technical breakthrough in the field was the development of a transgenic procedure for generation of stably transgenic lines by embryo microinjection . Uses Hydra polyps are small and transparent which makes it possible to trace single cells in vivo . In addition, transgenic Hydra provide a ready system for generating gain of function phenotypes. With the use of transgenes producing dominant negative versions of protein s, one should be able to obtain loss of function phenotypes as well. Current technology allows generation of reporter constructs using promoters of various Hydra genes fused to fluorescent proteins. Since transgenic Hydra lines have become an important tool to dissect molecular mechanisms of development, a Hydra Transgenic Facility has been established at the Christian Albrechts University of Kiel Germany .

other uses2 Plant Refimprove date April 2007 Image Plantcover.jpg thumb The Plant. The Plant is a still unfinished serial novel published in 2000 as an e book by United States American author Stephen King . The novel is about the editor in a paperback publishing house, who gets a manuscript from what seems like a crackpot. The manuscript is about magic, but it also contains photographs that seem very real. He writes the author a rejection slip, but because of the photographs, he also notifies the police where the author lives. This enrages the author, who sends a mysterious plant to the editor s office. The story is told in Epistolary novel epistolary format , consisting entirely of letters, memos, and so on. History King wrote a few parts of a story by the same name, and sent them out as chapbook s to his friends, instead of Christmas card s, in 1982, 1983, and 1985. Only three installments were produced by Stephen King Philtrum Press Philtrum Press before the story was shelved, and the original editions are hotly sought after collector s items today. In 2000, King published the novella Riding the Bullet over the internet , making it the world s first mass market e book . However, there were technical problems with downloading, and hacker computer security hackers eventually cracked the encryption on it. Later that year, King decided to release The Plant directly via his website, unencrypted and in installments. People could pay a one dollar fee for each installment using the honor system . He threatened, however, to drop the project if the percentage of paying readers fell below 75 percent. He viewed the release as an experiment in alternate forms of distribution, writing ....
