Default Would you buy these transgenic plants?

Please help out a researcher studying useful applications of transgenic
plants by answering three simple questions below.

snip
What does 'transgenic' mean?

Also, in these hypothetical situations;
*What means of genetic modification were used?
*Were genes added or removed?
*If added, what was the original source?
*If added, do these genes occur in other species as well?
*If added, what known issues (if any) have been associated with these genes?
*What testing has been conducted on the plants?
*Are the plants fertile?
*Will the plants breed true?

Hard to make an informed choice without knowing the answers.
