Transgenic plants were grown on an area of more than 120'000 km2 in 1997, maily in North America. This development has consequences for plant breeding: if there is a long-term need for non-transgenic varieties (e.g. for organic agriculture), GMO-free breeding programs should now be initiated. The role of Swiss plant biotechnology as well as possible problems related to the large scale growth of transgenic varieties are discussed.
