: Hi, I am currently a high school student finishing up in the last year's biology course. I am working on a genetic engineering research project. I have to do a full report on a plant or animal that is being genetically altered. Not the ones that have been done. I am just wondering if anyone can help me by providing some possible topics or other suggestions? Thank you.
They are currently investigating the addition of the Bt Toxin to potatoe plants, much as they have done with corn and cotton, in maine. This is a toxin from the bacteria Bacillus Thurogenesis (name might be a little off) which kills insects when they ingest the toxin from the leaves.
