A P1-derived artificial chromosome, or PAC, is a DNA construct derived from the DNA of P1 bacteriophages and Bacterial artificial chromosome.It can carry large amounts (about 100–300 kilobases) of other sequences for a variety of bioengineering purposes in bacteria.
Two strains of the bacterium are associated with the farmer. One strain serves as a food source and the other strain serves as a symbioant that produces beneficial secondary metabolites. The main genetic difference between these two strains is a mutation of the global activator gene called gacA. This gene plays a key role in gene regulation ...
As an example, some rice strains are made by inserting new genetic material into a rice plant, [13] all the descendants of the genetically modified rice plant are a strain with unique genetic information that is passed on to later generations; the strain designation, which is normally a number or a formal name, covers all the plants that ...
The key areas of controversy related to genetically modified food (GM food or GMO food) are whether such food should be labeled, the role of government regulators, the objectivity of scientific research and publication, the effect of genetically modified crops on health and the environment, the effect on pesticide resistance, the impact of such ...
Genetically modified crops undergo a significant amount of regulation throughout the world. For a GM crop to be approved for release in the US, it must be assessed by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) agency within the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and may also be assessed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA ...

The bacterium can't penetrate the host plant without an entry point such as a wound. Factors leading to wounds in plants include cultural practices, grafting, freezing injury, growth cracks, soil insects, and other animals in the environment causing damage to the plant.
