The first transgenic plant varieties have been tested in the field in 1986 and starting from 1994 they are introduced into the market. In the last year, the cultivation of transgenic plants has exceeded an area of 500 000 km2. Transgenic varieties of the following plant species are cultivated in the field (with decreased area of cultivation): soybean, corn, cotton, rape, sugar beet, potato, flax, tobacco, tomato, papaya, melon, squash, cichory, carnation. The main traits, introduced by transgenosis are: herbicide tolerance, resistance to some insect pests, resistance to some specific virus diseases, male sterility, changes of spectrum of fatty acids of rape seeds, increased shelf-life of tomato fruits, increased vase-life of carnation flowers. Concerning genetically manipulated farm animals, there are geneticaly manipulated chicken, sheep, goats, rabbits, swines and cattle with transgenes increasing the resistance to diseases, improving the market quality of meat and milk and, last but not least, coding for pharmaceuticaly or industrialy valuable proteins produced in milk. There are also attempts to cure some human diseases by delivery of foreign genes into the somatic cells of human body. Transgenosis has been applied to about 500 patients and many of them were partly or completly recovered from cancer, AIDS and genetic defects.
