Nontarget Effects of Genetic Manipulation

Manipulated Organism: Plants - Tomato

tomato_001: Tomato plants overexpressing phytoene synthase gene were stunted in growth.

tomato_002: Flavonol-enriched tomatoes had altered levels of at least fifteen other substances.

tomato_003: Suppression of DHS gene in tomatoes was associated with lack of fruiting, altered leaf morphology, higher rate of photosynthesis and other changes.

tomato_004: Transgenic tomatoes altered with a marker gene construct showed significant changes in morphological and physiological characteristics.
