One notable example of a transgenic plant failure is the case of the Flavr Savr tomato, which was engineered for longer shelf life by suppressing the enzyme responsible for softening. Despite initial excitement, it failed commercially due to consumer resistance, concerns about taste, and the emergence of better alternatives. The Flavr Savr tomato was eventually withdrawn from the market in the late 1990s, illustrating the challenges of consumer acceptance and market viability for genetically modified organisms.
What else can I help you with?
What is an example of a transgenic tobacco?
Example of a transgenic tobacco plant is the insect resistant variety. A gene from Bacillus thuringiensis which is lethal to many pests is introduced into the plant genome to impart resistance to many insect pests.
Transgenic bacteria examples?
Example of transgenic bacteria are- Escherichia coli and Streptococcus mutans.
A plant known as a pomato is transgenic plant which contains genes from both?
Tomato and Potato plants
Transposons and their role in transgenic plants?
Transposons are DNA sequences that can move within a genome, potentially disrupting genes. In transgenic plants, transposons can be used as a tool to insert foreign genes into the plant genome. The transposon can carry the foreign gene to a new location in the plant's DNA, leading to the production of a transgenic plant with new traits.
What does it mean when a plant is a BT-plant?
BT-plant means plant having BT-gene like BT-cotton. These are transgenic plants developed by genetic engineering.
