Appendix A indicates which crops currently on the market contain antibiotic resistance marker genes, and to which antibiotics they are designed to be resistant
A critical requirement for analyzing and manipulating antibiotic biosynthetic genes is the ability to disrupt genes or gene clusters This can be accomplished
Antibiotics are produced through complex, multi-step pathways, the genes for which are encoded in large biosynthetic gene clusters which may include the
Genetic modification involves changing a gene or inserting a new gene for a particular characteristic (or trait) In the case of GM crops, the modified or
