Abstract: The horizontal transfer of hereditary material is a one-way gene transmitting pattern between different organisms.There are several transfer patterns always recurred to some carriers such as viruses.The horizontal gene transfer not only takes place between microbial cells,but also happens between higher animals or plants,or between plants and animals.The horizontal transfer of hereditary material is ubiquitous,which is an important motivity for biological evolution.Transgenic plants are the results of genetic engineering,the one-way artificial gene transferring in plants.It is obvious that manual horizontal gene transfer has been making great effects on the organisms and the environment.
