Targeted gene transfer in forest trees
Project
Project code: vTI-FG-08-24
Contract period: 01.03.2004
- 31.12.2008
Purpose of research: Applied research
Following the year 2008 transgenic trees to be foreseen for non-commercial field releases as well as for commercial applications shouldn’t contain any antibiotic resistance gene marker. Further, it has been claimed in particular for trees that the foreign genes introduced into tree genomes should be positioned at genomic locations which has been found suitable for integration of forest genes. In this project the possibilities for a targeted transfer of transgenes as well the elimination of marker genes will be studied. In frame of a biological biosafety research are these investigations very important in order to assess possible risks following the practical application of such systems.
