Aspen modified for increased growth rate
EN
PtVIIIGS(6)8
No
Aspen (Populus tremula) was modified with the insertion of a Glutamine synthetase (GS) expression cassette. The expression of the GS protein results in an increased growth rate of the plant.
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.
