Genetic modification in floriculture
Biotechnology Letters, 2010Micro-propagation, embryo rescue, mutagenesis via chemical or irradiation means and in vitro inter-specific hybridisation methods have been used by breeders in the floriculture industry for many years. In the past 20 years these enabling technologies have been supplemented by genetic modification methods.

Genetic modification is the heritable alteration of the genetic make-up of an organism. As a natural process this is as old as genes themselves, and has been utilized by human beings since the beginnings of agriculture. Recently, the term has come to apply specifically to newly developed DNA technologies, where the genome of an organism is modified ...

Genetic modification of Zymomonas mobilis
Biotechnology Advances, 1990The bacterium Zymomonas mobilis is a potentially useful organism for the commercial production of ethanol as it is capable of more than double the rate of alcohol production by yeast. However, industrial application of this bacterium has been restricted in part due to the disadvantages of its limited substrate range (glucose, fructose and sucrose) and ...

Abstract Chapter 5 focuses on the debates surrounding the genetic modification of organisms, demonstrating the historical and geographic specificity of the ‘conflict thesis’. Concerns about ‘playing God’ and ‘editing the book of nature’ may dominate public discussion in the West, but very different stories are told in the Global South.

Genetic Modification of T Cells
The Cancer Journal, 2014Gene transfer technology has advanced rapidly from simple physical-chemical laboratory methods in the 1970s and 1980s to the sophisticated viral and nonviral methods currently in clinical practice. Herein, we review 4 gene transfer methodologies applied in human gene therapy clinical trials transferring chimeric antigen receptors into T cells for the ...

Advancement of Biotechnology by Genetic Modifications
2018One of the greatest sources of metabolic and enzymatic diversity are microorganisms. In recent years, emerging recombinant DNA and genomic techniques have facilitated the development of new efficient expression systems, modification of biosynthetic pathways leading to new metabolites by metabolic engineering, and enhancement of catalytic properties of ...

Naturalness and the genetic modification of animals
Trends in Biotechnology, 2003In the past few years it has been recognised that so-called intrinsic concerns about genetic modification (GM) of plants and animals, for food in particular, have an important role in the public perception of GM. One of these concerns is the view that GM is 'unnatural'.

Sperm-Mediated Genetic Modifications
2019The ability to introduce controlled modifications of the genome of animals represents an important tool for biomedical and veterinary research. Among transgenic techniques, we describe here the sperm-mediated gene transfer method that is based on the spontaneous ability of sperm cells to bind and internalize exogenous DNA and to carry it to the oocyte ...

Genetic modification of cells for transplantation
Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 2008Progress in gene therapy has produced promising results that translate experimental research into clinical treatment. Gene modification has been extensively employed in cell transplantation. The main barrier is an effective gene delivery system. Several viral vectors were utilized in end-stage differentiated cells.
