Question
1. What is the CaMV promoter? ( define what a promoter is, what it does, and specifically what the CaMV promoter is and where it comes from) 2. From the Colorado State website listed above, what is the BEST evidence given that the CaMV promoter is safe to eat? [Hint: Read the Risks and Concerns page. There is a separate heading for the CaMV promoter]. Now, read the following article at: https://www.independentsciencenews.org/health/regulators-discover-a-hidden-viral- gene-in-commercial-gmo-crops/ Do you still believe that the CaMV promoter is still safe to eat? Why or Why not? 3.Explanation / Answer
A promoter is either bacteria or virus which activate forign genes in transgenic crops. And it is main regulatory portion of gene.
CaMV is derived from plant virus Cauliflower Mosaic virus is the type species of family Caulimoviridae. It is called as 35S CaMV with respect to coefficient of sedimentation of viral transcript and its exoression is naturally driven by 35S.
CaMV is a component of most of tge transgenic constructs about 80% of Genitically Modified. It is widely used to express recombinent protein in plants.
The available evidences clearly indicates that there are serious potential hazards associated with the use of CaMV promotor.
So it is not much safe
