Biotechnology; Genetic engineering
The ability of a micro-organism to produce a protein that disables an antibiotic or prevents transport of the antibiotic into the cell.
herbicide resistance
Biotechnology; Genetic engineering
The ability of a plant to withstand herbicide. Herbicide resistance has been one of the early targets of plant genetic engineering. If a herbicide is sprayed onto a field planted with such resistant ...
