Tá an genome de prátaí milse saothraithe Agrobacterium T-DNAs le géinte in iúl: Sampla de bharr bia nádúrtha transgenic

I measc 291 aontachas thástáil de prátaí milse saothraithe, beidh na sonraí uile nó DNA aistriú níos (T-DNA) seichimh. Tá na sraitheanna, a suífear chun a chur in iúl i Clón prátaí milse saothraithe (“Huachano”) rinneadh anailís air sin go mion, suggest that an Agrobacterium infection occurred in evolutionary times. One of the T-DNAs is apparently present in all cultivated sweet potato clones, but not in the crop’s closely related wild relatives, suggesting the T-DNA provided a trait or traits that were selected for during domestication. This finding draws attention to the importance of plant–microbe interactions, and given that this crop has been eaten for millennia, it may change the paradigm governing the “unnatural” status of transgenic crops.
