澳大利亚昆士兰大学经研究获得抗香蕉枯萎病的基因改良植株。将抗香蕉巴拿马病害(即香蕉枯萎病)的单个基因插入香蕉基因组中,该基因能阻止香蕉细胞在受到病菌攻击后凋亡。该研究将给非洲贫困国家的香蕉种植业带去希望。但在澳大利亚本土,蕉农却反对将基因改良香蕉商业化。香蕉? University of Queensland, Australia to study the resistance to banana wilt genetically modified plants. A single gene that is resistant to banana panama disease (ie, banana wilt disease) is inserted into the banana genome, which prevents banana cells from apoptosis upon attack by germs. The study will give hope to banana farming in poor African countries. But in Australia, banana farmers are opposed to the commercialization of genetically modified bananas. banana?
