A growing number of food manufacturers and grocery chains in Europe and elsewhere are taking products containing transgenics off their shelves. |
It's the only one in the world that's equipped to perform transgenics with the eggs of almost any species. |
One method, transgenics, involves finding the gene associated with a desired function and inserting it into the genome of the plant in question. |
When I see Prof. Straus' data on field trials of transgenics in Germany, only fifty field trials last year, it is sad. |
However, attempts to produce such transgenics have failed owing to the poor regeneration rates of the somatic embryogenesis protocols used. |
Most transgenics labs are equipped to only work with eggs from a single species-for example, fruit flies. |
