To produce white-flowered gentian plants, we attempted to suppress the chalcone synthase (chs) gene by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. A binary vector, pSMABcCHS, harboring antisense cDNA of chs isolated from the gentian Gentiana triflora cv. Maciry under control of the CaMV35S promoter was transformed into an interspecific hybrid gentian (cv. Albireo; G. scabra G. triflora). The vector ...
متن کاملGlyphosate and herbicide resistant plants
There is a common understanding that commercially traded formulations of glyphosate, such as Roundup, can be more toxic than glyphosate alone. Therefore, the EU has already taken measures to remove problematic additives known as POE tallowamine from the market. However, imports of genetically engineered plants resistant to glyphosate are exposed to high dosages of the herbicide in countries whe...
متن کاملDo Environmental Effects of Herbicide-Resistant GM Plants Differ from Effects of Other Herbicide Resistant Plants?
Genetic modification of crop plants has promoted concerns about potential environmental effects of this new technology. In this essay, I will discuss the environmental effects of genetic modification of crop plants using herbicide resistance as an example. Considering herbicide resistance as an old agricultural trait, it is difficult to find any reason to assess the environmental risks of genet...
متن کاملHerbicide resistance and biodiversity: agronomic and environmental aspects of genetically modified herbicide-resistant plants
Farmland biodiversity is an important characteristic when assessing sustainability of agricultural practices and is of major international concern. Scientific data indicate that agricultural intensification and pesticide use are among the main drivers of biodiversity loss. The analysed data and experiences do not support statements that herbicide-resistant crops provide consistently better yiel...
