Insertional mutagenesis (but not lethal for the plant cell – as the organism is diploid)

Transformation DNA fed to rodents ends up in their [[phagocyte]]s and rarely other cells. Specifically, this is bacterial and [[M13 bacteriophage|M13]] DNA. (This preferential accumulation in phagocytes is thought to be real and not a detection artefact since these DNA extents are thought to provoke [[phagocytosis]].) However no [[gene expression]] is known to have resulted, and this is not thought to be possible.<ref name="Goldstein-et-al-2005">{{cite journal | last1=Goldstein | first1=Daniel A. | last2=Tinland | first2=Bruno | last3=Gilbertson | first3=Lawrence A. | last4=Staub | first4=J.M. | last5=Bannon | first5=G.A. | last6=Goodman | first6=R.E. | last7=McCoy | first7=R.L. | last8=Silvanovich | first8=A. | title=Human safety and genetically modified plants: a review of antibiotic resistance markers and future transformation selection technologies | journal=[[Journal of Applied Microbiology]] | publisher=[[Society for Applied Microbiology]] ([[Wiley Publishing|Wiley]]) | volume=99 | issue=1 | year=2005 | issn=1364-5072 | doi=10.1111/j.1365-2672.2005.02595.x | pages=7–23| pmid=15960661 | doi-access=free }}</ref><ref name="Lemaux-2008">{{cite journal | last=Lemaux | first=Peggy G. | title=Genetically Engineered Plants and Foods: A Scientist's Analysis of the Issues (Part I) | journal=[[Annual Review of Plant Biology]] | publisher=[[Annual Reviews (publisher)|Annual Reviews]] | volume=59 | issue=1 | year=2008 | issn=1543-5008 | doi=10.1146/annurev.arplant.58.032806.103840 | pages=771–812 | pmid=18284373}}</ref>
