Transgenic Plants Genes from virtually any organism, from viruses to humans, can now be inserted into plants, creating what are known as transgenic plants. Now used in agriculture, there are approximately 109 million acres of transgenic crops grown worldwide, 68 percent of which are in the Uni...

On the negative side, opponents of transgenic crops suggest that there are many questions that need to be answered before transgenic crops are grown on a large scale. One question deals with the effects that Bt plants have on nontarget organisms such as beneficial insects, worms, and birds tha...
The results have revealed the amazing flexibility of plants. For example, starch-deficient tobacco 对突变体和transgenic植物的用途使我们询问新的套问题分派。 例如,当其中一个竞争的过程,例如淀粉综合,被禁止甚至被消灭时,什么发生? 结果显露了植物的惊人的灵活性。 例如,淀粉短少烟草突变体综合仅痕量淀粉,但能...
What are Transgenic Animals? Discussion Comments ByGenevaMech— On Nov 16, 2010 @ aplenty- Genetic engineering has its disadvantages and your example of golden rice is a prime example. First of all, it would be much cheaper to give every citizen suffering from iodine deficiency two iodine pills...
aA classic example of a pathogen that ingeniously makes use of the plant’s hormonal signaling network is the Crown Gall disease–causing pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens, which is often used for the production of genetically modified transgenic plants. 巧妙利用植物的荷尔蒙信号网病原生物的一个经典...
What are the consequences of a tubal pregnancy? What is a disarmed strain of Agrobacterium tumefaciens? How can such a strain be used to create a transgenic plant? What is/are the synapomorphy or synapomorphies for opisthokonts? What is an alecithal egg? Describe what procedures can be p...
Green waste is also known as biohazard waste. This includes transgenic plants, debris from soil, seeds, and plants that are exposed to pathogens. 5. Animal Waste: Biohazard animal waste includes any animal body parts, fluids, bedding material, or carcasses that have been infected with any kin...
What is the role of Agrobacterium tumefaciens in the production of transgenic plants? What is the importance of nitrogen in plants? Why are sepals and petals important for a plant's development? What is the purpose of fruit that develops on a flowering plant? What is the purpose of the frui...
