GENETICALLY MODIFIED
ORGANISMS (GMO)

Pest resistant Plants

MEDICINE
(Bio – pesticides) Transgenic Animals
Insulin

• Animals having their DNA manifrulated

Nematode resistant pH • Eg:- Transgenic rats, pigs sheeps, etc
Protoxin
in Tobacco Plants Activated
Bt toxin crystal toxin
• Meloidogyne incognita (nematode) Solubilization
Activation

intact tobacco roots

• RNA interference (RNA: ) used to Injested
prevent it. Insect Bind to receptor Benefits of Transgenic animals
• mRNA sitencing is done to inhibit • Normal physiology & development
translation of toxic crystal & knowledge about gene regulation rate
Bt corn Bt cotton
Pore formation • Study of diseases (eg. Transgenic models
for cancer)
Insect Death Lysis Swelling
Cause • Biological products (Eg. Human protein
( - 1 – antitrypsin)
Bt Cotton • Vauine safely (eg. Polio vaccine)
Increase permeability
