  • PREVENTION OF TRANSGENE ESCAPE IN GENETICALLY MODIFIED PERENNIALS
    Publication number: 20100031387
    Abstract: Genes can be introduced into plants that confer desirable traits such as, drought and stress tolerance, insect and pest resistance, as well as environmental qualities such as phyto-remediation. However, possibility for transgene escape to wild and non-transformed species raises commercial and ecological concerns. Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for generating sterile perennial plants for the prevention of transgene escape. For example, sterile switchgrass can be produced using these methods, for example which can be used to produce biofuel.
