Three independent homozygous transgenic lines with significantly higher Os08g01480 expression were selected for further characterization. In early stages of vegetative growth on Soilrite, no phenotypic difference was observed in transgenic lines in comparison to WT. However, there was clear difference in bolting time between WT and transgenic lines (Supplementary Fig. S2). The visible changes in early plant growth between WT and transgenic lines were analyzed through measuring root length after growth

What is the major problem being addressed by this study? This research aims at understanding how Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE) develops after traumatic incidents such as stroke. In our lab, we use a transgenic mouse model in order to selectively delete PTEN from dentate granule cells (DGC) found in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus- where TLE forms. The experiments have shown that deleting PTEN causes abnormalities amongst DGC, causes mice to display seizures, and is sufficient to cause TLE. By

cell, permanently changing the world of agriculture. Genetically modified agriculture, or transgenic crops, are crops that have had their DNA altered via genetic engineering. Transgenic crops are often the subject of skepticism from wealthy countries such as America. In these countries the citizens are concerned transgenic crops may have a negative impact on their health and the environment. As a result transgenic crops, or any other genetically modified organism, are the subject of controversy. On one

Enviropigs: The Future of Transgenic Animals, The Environment, and the Global Market. For thousands of years, the usage of livestock has been one of the primary sources of food for human consumption. From cows to goats, and even horses, humans have raised these animals in order to obtain a good source of food and fiber, as well as the increase of labor. The three most consumed livestock in the world are cattle, chicken, and pigs; out of the three, pigs are the ones that have one of the biggest environmental

enhanced selective breeding into a whole new evolution of “transgenic” techniques where the genetic information of another organism is inserted into their genome (Bemis & Jo 2011). Despite the fact that transgenic animals are used to study diseases, there are some that argues that transgenic animals are disrespecting the rights of animals. This essay will further outline the both sides of transgenic animal with the question ‘Should transgenic animal with human DNA be permitted?’. The arguments for

Transgenics is the introduction of an altered gene into a living organism in anticipation of the genes characteristics being displayed in the organism’s progeny. This process has assisted both plant and animals production in numerous ways including increasing yields, resistance to pest/disease and increasing maturity rates, being just a few examples; transgenics has been used for medical purposes! Transgenic cotton: Due to cotton previously being attacked by pest that caused immense damage, the

A Transgenic Organism is an organism that’s genetic material has been transformed using a technique called genetic engineering. This modification contains the mutation, insertion, or deletion of genes. When there is an insertion of genes, they are most commonly from a different species, this is known as horizontal gene transfer. Another way genes can be transferred is in nature, when exogenous DNA (DNA originating outside an organism that has been introduced into the organism) gets through the organisms

Despite the societal discord that exists around the ethics of genetic modification, certain genetically modified organisms (GMOs) undoubtedly offer incredible opportunities for the advancement of medicine. In particular, transgenic domestic cats have contributed to the generation of biomedical models of human diseases over the past several years. What have come to be known as “glow-in-the-dark cats” are actually cats whose somatic cells have been injected with fluorescent proteins via transgenesis

intelligent, human-like species that needs proper regulations and authority. The study of transgenic, or chimeric animals has brought about some serious ethical issues. Many people are only aware of the issues when it regards the human race. However, transgenics play much more of a role than just to our society, but greater damage is done to nature's ecosystems. Many consequences may be unleashed once a transgenic animal escapes back into the wild. The potential harms may include "the alteration of the

bombarded with tungsten particles coated with DNA of two plasmids containing the appropriate genes. The plant materials showed high frequency of expression of genes when stained with X-Gluc. The number of blue or transgenic units was approximately 1,000. After one week, the transgenic cells were transferred onto selection medium containing hygromycin B. After two weeks, fresh cell cultures could be seen on bombarded tissue. Some cultures were white and some cultures were blue. Isolated cell cultures
