Flax modified for improved ability to bind heavy metals
EN
Unknown
No
Flax and linseed plants were genetically modified to enhance the ability of flax to increase the production of proteins in plants which are able to bind heavy metals and thereby inactivate them by accumulating the heavy metal pollutants from the soil into the plants and their parts.

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.
