In conventional breeding within species, it is said
that "vertical transfer" of genes takes place. However,
biotechnology allows "horizontal transfer" of genes across
species. Isn?t such horizontal transfer unnatural, and
therefore possibly unsafe, as well as unethical?

Answer Posted / asif shah

Vertical gene transfer is risky as we do not know how the behaviour of that gene change over a period of time. It may also alter the regulation or expression of native genes of the plant.
