who coined the term genetic engineering
Jack Williamsen
an antibiotic-resistant E. coli bacteria was created in ?
1973
it is the term used for an organism created through genetic engineering
Genetically modified organism
genetically modified plants to resist certain pests
pest resistance
example of pest resistance is ?? wherein the the dna of it has been modified with the gene of bacillus whatever - a soil bacterium that produces proteins which is toxic to corn borers (worms)
Bt. Corn
genetically modified plants to resist certain viruses
virus resistance
example of virus resistance is ??/ the effect was like the vaccines humans have against measles or influenza virus
GM papaya or rainbow papaya
genetically modified plants to tolerate herbicide
herbicide tolerance
example of herbicide tolerance
roundup ready soybean
herbicide for weeds that is introduced to soybeans making it tolerant to the herbicide itself
glyphosate
genetically modified plants fortified with certain minerals
fortification
example of fortification
golden rice
beta-carotene, a precursos of vitamin A, was introduced through biosynthesis genes to the rice, making the rice grains fortified with vitamin A
Golden Rice
genetically modified plants resist natural discoloration
cosmetic preservation
example of cosmetic preservation
arctic apple

arctic apple
genetically modified organism that has higher yield in growth than normal species
increase growth rate
example of increase growth rate
aquadvantage salmon
gene from an ocean pout, an eel-like fish was introduced to pacific chinook salmon, making the salmon grow fasterr than its normal rate
aquadvantage salmon
gmos i flower production are seen in ?
modified color and extended vase life of flowers
modified characteristics of trees for higher yield of paper production
paper productione
example of paper production
poplar trees
it is a complex polymer in trees that is removed from wood to make paper through kraft process, through inserting genes that code for ferulic acid in young poplar trees, the lignin structure is modified, making lignin easier to breakdown
lignin

use of modified plants that can assist in the bioremediation of polluted sites
bioremediation
example of bioremediation
shrub tobacco
?? or shrub tobacco genetically modified with phytochelatin TaPCSI1, is used for bioremediation. it shows high level accumulation of zinc, lead, cadmium, nickel, and boron and produces high biomass
nicotiana glauca
use of modified microorganisms that can produce enzymes for food processing and medicines
enzyme and drug production
example of enzyme and drug production
CGTase
an enzyme used for food flavor enhancer, is produced in higher quantity by bacterium bacillus which was genetically modified with the gene of a thermophilic anaerobe
cyclomaltodextrin glycosyltransferase
another example of enzyme and drug protection
artemesin
is a compound used for anti-malarial drug extracted from sweet wordwood plant
artemesin
