Nontarget Effects of Genetic Manipulation
Target Effect: Increase of Carotenoids in Seeds
arabidopsis_003:
Overexpression of phytoene synthase gene in Arabidopsis
resulted in delayed germination, increased levels of
chlorophyll, and changes in relative levels of carotenoids.
canola_001:
Canola plants over-expressing a bacterial phytoene synthase gene also
had a reduced level of chlorophyll, changed structure of plastids,
changed composition of fatty acids, and delayed germination.
