Research progress on horizontal gene transfer between plants:a new way of gene exchange and its agricultural utilization potential
Horizontal gene transfer(HGT),refers to the transfer of genetic material across species by means other than fertilization,is different from sexual reproduction inheritance.It is an important source of prokaryotic and eu-karyotic genome composition and plays an important role in promoting biological evolution.In recent years,with the development of genome sequencing technology,it is further proved that there are a large number of HGT events a-mong plants.This paper mainly reviewed the ways and classification of HGT between plants,as well as the applica-tion potential of HGT in agriculture,and put forward prospects for the problems in the current research,the future basic theoretical research and the direction of utilization.
