25
modified characteristics of trees for higher yield of paper production
paper productione
26
example of paper production
poplar trees
27
it is a complex polymer in trees that is removed from wood to make paper through kraft process, through inserting genes that code for ferulic acid in young poplar trees, the lignin structure is modified, making lignin easier to breakdown
lignin
28

pharmaceutical productions
29
example of pharmaceutical productions
periwinkle plants
30
use of modified plants that can assist in the bioremediation of polluted sites
bioremediation

example of bioremediation
shrub tobacco
32
?? or shrub tobacco genetically modified with phytochelatin TaPCSI1, is used for bioremediation. it shows high level accumulation of zinc, lead, cadmium, nickel, and boron and produces high biomass

33
use of modified microorganisms that can produce enzymes for food processing and medicines
enzyme and drug production
34
example of enzyme and drug production
CGTase
35
an enzyme used for food flavor enhancer, is produced in higher quantity by bacterium bacillus which was genetically modified with the gene of a thermophilic anaerobe
cyclomaltodextrin glycosyltransferase
36
another example of enzyme and drug protection
