They produced genetically engineered crops resistant to herbicides.
Therefore, the contribution of genetically engineered cells to a particular tissue is relative compared with other tissues that do not require the gene of interest.
Genetically engineered mice and their use in aging research.
The same reasoning applies to genetically engineered plants.
Even if such a defect were never to arise naturally, it could in principle be genetically engineered.
Many of these acquisitions were driven by the desire of chemical companies to acquire new genetically engineered plant traits26.
Others believed that segregation issues (such as ensuring the separation of genetically engineered canola from other crops) would prove to be uneconomic for farmer adoption.
By the mid-1980s it had become clear that producing genetically engineered crops was, in principle, a commercial proposition.
In 1999, about 40m hectares of genetically engineered crops were grown by a dozen countries, a 44 per cent increase on the previous year.
