5 Plants with Enhanced Traits and How it is developed.

1. Corn
2. Soybeans (Several commercial soybeans varieties have been developed using cell selection
other example of cell selection is Canola and flax.)
3. Rice
4. Barley
5. Potato

All these plants have enhanced traits and was developed using Chromosome Engineering...

Chromosome engineering is the term given to nonrecombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (rDNA)

cytogenetic manipulations, in which portions of chromosomes from near or distant species are
recombined through a natural process called chromosomal translocation.

While Cell Selection is the process that involves isolating a population of cells called “elite plant” with
superior agricultural characteristics. Then the cells are excised and grown in culture.

5 Animals with Enhanced Traits and How it is developed.

1. Cows
2. Pigs
3. Chickens

Some commercially grown Cows, Pigs and Chicken are a modern breed of livestock due to Genetic
Selection such as Artificial Insemination. Modern breeds of livestock are differ from their ancestors
because they use of frozen semen for artificial insemination (AI), along with sire testing and sire
selection.

4. Sheep
5. Cattle

These 2 animals are example of a Marker-assisted selection that involves establishing a link between
inheriting a desirable trait, such as milk yield, and segregating specific genetic markers that are coupled
trait? Through these animals will be screened for genes that can control simple traits that may be
undesirable, such as horns and a metabolic stress syndrome in some animals. In time these identifiable
markers can accompany multiple genes controlling more complex traits, such as meat tenderness and
taste, growth, offspring size, and disease resistance, can become available to improve animal health and
production traits. Just like the Booroola gene in which a single-nucleotide base change is responsible for
the callipyge muscle hypertrophy phenotype—the only known example of polar over-dominance in a
mammal (Freking et al., 2002). Another is introgression of the Booroola gene into the Awassi and the
Assaf dairy breeds.
