This Guide was originally published in 2001 as A Practical Guide to Containment: Greenhouse Research with Transgenic Plants and Microbes and primarily addressed containment of plants and plant-associated organisms containing recombinant DNA (rDNA). Researchers, facility managers, and regulators have subsequently encouraged the authors to expand this Guide beyond containment of solely transgenic organisms. Therefore, the…
