Potato resistant to aminoglycoside antibiotics
EN
potato (Solanum tuberosum, variety Albatros) 35S-nptII
No
This transgenic potato, variety Albatros, is resistent towards aminoglycoside antibiotics such as kanamycin, neomycin and geneticin. Such potatos are meant to be cultivated as control plants in field trials with differently genetically modified potato plants.

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.

Some of these genetic elements may be present as fragments or truncated forms. Please see notes below, where applicable.
The LMO 35S-nptII expresses the nptII gene which confers resistance towards aminoglycoside antibiotics. The nptII gene is put under the control of the CaMV 35S promoter and -terminator.
