Plant Biotechnology: Selection And Regeneration Of Transformed Plants
After bombardment, the somatic embryos of the papaya (Carica papaya) will be selected on medium containing 150 g mL1 kanamycin monosulfate for 3 months. According to Drew and Smith(1986), germination of the papaya then will be induced on a modified de Fossard medium (de Fossard et al., 1974) and will be supplemented with 25 g…

Future Medicine Will Only Be Based On Synthetic DNA (XNA) Technology
Rationale It has been claimed that future medicine will only be based on synthetic DNA (XNA) technology. Synthetic DNA are proteins that can duplicate synthetic genetic material. It could lead doctors to begin treating diseases by allowing the synthetic genetic material to interfere and prevent vital processes in the course of the disease. In theory,…
