Description

LMOs intended for research to develop an efficient means to genetically transform orchids with genes producing virus-resistant orchid plants.

Recipient Organism or Parental Organisms

The term Recipient organism refers to an organism (either already modified or non-modified) that was subjected to genetic modification, whereas Parental organisms refers to those that were involved in cross breeding or cell fusion.

Escherichia coli
