The genetic information for tumor growth is encoded on a mobile, circular DNA fragment . When Agrobacterium infects a plant, it transfers this T-DNA to a random site in the plant genome. When used in genetic engineering the bacterial T-DNA is removed from the bacterial plasmid and replaced with the desired foreign gene.
For example, a "flu strain" is a certain biological form of the influenza or "flu" virus. These flu strains are characterized by their differing isoforms of surface proteins. New viral strains can be created due to mutation or swapping of genetic components when two or more viruses infect the same cell in nature. [3]
Sugarcane or sugar cane is a species of tall, perennial grass (in the genus Saccharum, tribe Andropogoneae) that is used for sugar production. The plants are 2–6 m (6–20 ft) tall with stout, jointed, fibrous stalks that are rich in sucrose , [ 1 ] which accumulates in the stalk internodes .
The United States imports 30% of its sugar, while the remaining 70% is extracted from domestically grown sugar beets and sugarcane. More than 1 million acres of sugar beets are cultivated annually in the United States, with a market value at harvest exceeding $1 billion. [5] GM sugar beets are grown by more than 95 percent of the nation's sugar ...
Molasses (from sugar cane) Monosaccharide – refers to 'simple sugars', these are the most basic units of carbohydrates. Examples are glucose, fructose, and galactose. Muscovado [1] – a minimally processed sugar; Non-centrifugal cane sugar – made by the simple evaporation of sugar cane juice.
Saccharum officinarum is a large, strong-growing species of grass in the sugarcane genus. Its stout stalks are rich in sucrose, a disaccharide sugar which accumulates in the stalk internodes. It originated in New Guinea, [1] and is now cultivated in tropical and subtropical countries worldwide for the production of sugar, ethanol and other ...
Previously, this GE sugarcane could only be cultivated on lands owned by PTPN XI, and its seeds were not freely available to other farmers for planting due to the lack of certification. In 2022, the Indonesian Sugar Research Institute certified the GE sugarcane seed, and it is currently available for general commercialization.
