Expression data from three rice lines (1-control, 1-transgenic and 1-negative segregant) throughout generations and under salt stress

The approval of genetically modified (GM) crops is preceded by years of intensive research to demonstrate safety to humans and environment. We recently showed that in vitro culture stress is the major factor influencing proteomic differences of GM vs. non-GM plants. This made us question the number of generations needed to erase such memory. We also wondered about the relevance of alterations promoted by transgenesis as compared to environment-induced ones.
