        The Commercial and Agricultural Applications of Animal Transgenesis

        互联网

        The commercial potential for transgenesis techniques is substantial, particularly in the fields of animal and plant agriculture. This results from productivity being a function of genetic potential and interaction with the environment, but environmental factors being only partially subject to influence by the farmer. Thus, concentrating on genotype improvement becomes an important goal if substantial cumulative gains in productivity are to be made. Historically, the genetic potential associated with important animal production traits, such as wool growth, milk yield, and body growth, has been improved by selective breeding, whereby phenotypically superior animals are used as parental stock for following generations. The high quality of the domestic animals in use in farming today compared with those of earlier centuries is witness to the success of the approach, but nevertheless, the method has significant limitations that have frustrated animal breeders for many years. The complex genetic interactions that combine to produce a particular animal phenotype result in slow genetic gain, averaging at best about 1–3% per year. In addition, separating a desired production trait from one or more undesirable traits is often very difficult. However, the most important of these limitations is the inability to transfer genetic information between species, because of the biological barrier that prevents interspecific breeding.
