在上海植物生理研究所人工气候室,一种特殊的棉花植株正在扬苞吐絮。它的株高、茎叶、棉朵大小和普通棉花无大异,但外观色泽却比普通棉花光亮,手感比普通棉花柔软。据悉,这是由上海科学家培育成功的世界首批转兔角蛋白基因棉花。 上海创立的将兔角蛋白基因转入棉花的新技术,将成为改良棉纤维品质的重要手段。用这一技 In the artificial climate chamber of Shanghai Institute of Plant Physiology, a special kind of cotton plant is growing in young buds. Its height, stems and leaves, cotton size and ordinary cotton no major differences, but the appearance of color than ordinary cotton light, feel soft than ordinary cotton. It is reported that this is the first batch of transgenic rabbit keratin genes cotton cultivated by Shanghai scientists. The new technology of transferring the rabbit keratin gene into cotton in Shanghai will be an important means to improve the quality of cotton fiber. Use this technique
