Office of Research Integrity and Compliance
All recombinant DNA research, including that with plants and
plant-related organisms must be registered with our Biosafety
Office. Registration forms can be found at:

Plant-Related Recombinant DNA Research:
Research with genetically engineered plants, genetically engineered
plant-associated microbes, and genetically engineered plant-associated
macroorganisms (arthropods and nematodes) is covered by the NIH
Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant DNA Molecules,
section P:
http://oba.od.nih.gov/oba/rac/guidelines_02/APPENDIX_P.htm.
These guidelines are in place to prevent the accidental transmission of a
recombinant DNA-containing plant genome (either nuclear or organelle
genetic material) or the release of recombinant DNA-derived organisms
associated with plants into the environment.
