The meaning of TRANSGENIC is being or used to produce an organism or cell of one species into which one or more genes of another species have been incorporated; also : produced by or consisting of transgenic plants or animals. How to use transgenic in a
“GloFish,” the first transgenic organism to be sold as pets). Cows, pigs, goats, and sheep have also expressed transgenes. A transgenic cow has been created that can produce human protein–enriched milk, a more nutritionally fortified product than regular bovine milk that can be provided to...

Transgenics refers to the transfer of genes from one organism to another which, in the context of aging, means transferring into a model organism a gene that extends longevity in another organism. If this so-called ‘transgenic’ organism then lives longer than the wild type, this then provide...
Transgenic or Genetically Modified OrganismHere we describe the state of the art of genetically modified plants intended for food use. First, an introduction to the different methods of plant transformation as well as the molecular requirements for the stable introduction and expression of the gene(s...
YCF1 poplar and YHL035C poplar plants are excellent in resistance to lead as compared with their wild-type counterparts (FIG. 10 and FIG. 11). The preferred examples are hereinafter presented for better understanding of the invention. The following examples, however, are provided solely in ...
Although the functionality of such exogenous RNAs in terms of mediating gene expression in animals has been controversial [48, 49], there is enough evidence that such RNAs are capable of translocating from the host to its interacting organism, and vice versa [50]. Overall, there is an ...
Disclosed herein are novel compositions of NF-YB proteins and recombinant DNA for expressing NF-YB proteins that are used to produce transgenic plants with enhanced yield and/or enh
Attempts to combine pretreatment of substrate biomass with fermentation have encountered difficulties as well, in part because of mass transfer limitations and interference with the fermenting organism. CIVPS or inteins are in-frame, self-cleaving peptides that generally occur as part of a larger ...
Plants to be used for transformation in the present invention can be either monocotyledons or dicotyledons, and examples thereof include, but are not limited to, plants belonging to the family Brassicaceae (including Arabidopsis thaliana, cabbage, and rapeseed), the family Leguminosae (including garden...
