Potato modified for antimicrobial activity
EN
CEMA potato
No
The transgenic potato was modified to incorporate a synthetic sequence coding for cecropin antimicrobial peptide (CEMA). The resulting transgenic potato plants have a wide spectrum of antimicrobial activity.
EN
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.
