transplastomic plants
1Transplastomic plant — A transplastomic plant is a genetically modified plant in which the new genes have not been inserted in the nuclear DNA but in the DNA of the chloroplasts. The major advantage of this technology is that in many plant species plastid DNA is not… …
2Chloroplast — Simplified structure of a chloroplast Chloroplasts (English pronunciation: /ˈklɒrəplæsts/) are organelles found in plant cells and other eukaryotic organisms that conduct photosynthesis. Chloroplasts capture light energy to conserve …
3Plastid transformation — is a method in the genetic engineering of plants. Instead of the nuclear DNA, the DNA in the plant s plastids, usually the chloroplasts, is modified. The major advantage of this technology is that in many plant species plastid DNA is not… …
4Gene flow — In population genetics, gene flow (also known as gene migration) is the transfer of alleles of genes from one population to another.Migration into or out of a population may be responsible for a marked change in allele frequencies (the proportion …
5Biological containment — (or biocontainment) describes measures aimed at preventing genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and their transgenes from spreading into the environment (for containment methods in closed research environments, see Biosafety level).In… …
