Nontarget Effects of Genetic Manipulation
Manipulated Organism: Plants - Arabidopsis
arabidopsis_001:
Plants producing a biodegradable polyester were smaller, never produced
seeds and showed severe changes in metabolism.
arabidopsis_002:
Suppression of DHS enzyme in Arabidopsis (a mustard plant)
was associated with enlarged leaves, greater root mass, and enhanced
seed yield.
arabidopsis_003:
Overexpression of phytoene synthase gene in Arabidopsis resulted
in delayed germination, increased levels of chlorophyll, and changes in
relative levels of carotenoids.
arabidopsis_004:
Single-site integration of foreign DNA into Arabidopsis showed
rearrangements and deletions of both plant DNA and foreign DNA.
