The present invention relates to improved methods for increasing
containment and traceability of transgenic seeds, both prior to harvest
and post harvest. Disclosed are methods to produce and select a desirable
plant cultivar for molecular farming characterized by being easily
amenable for transformation and regeneration and with visual
characteristic feature such as in particular characteristic pigmentation
of the seed coat or other parts of the seed that can be traced and are
easily distinguished in the field or during and/or after harvesting from
non-transgenic seeds of the same species that have not the visual
characteristic feature.
