Transgenic silk garments

Chongqing is available

Yesterday, Southwestern University held news.

Transgenic silkworms spit out colored silk.

Yesterday, Southwestern University silkworm Research Institute, the yellow silk with green silk is emitting pearls.

"This is the silk spun out of our pgenic silkworm. The silkworm spun out of the common silkworm is white, and the silk spun from the pgenic silkworm is this color."

Xiang Zhonghuai, academician of the research team of silkworm genome, Southwestern University, said.

Why do genetically modified silkworms vomit colored silk? According to the introduction, green fluorescent protein is introduced into pgenic silkworms, and green fluorescent protein is a marine organism whose color is the color of silk.

The reason for choosing GFP is that the green fluorescent protein gene is very easy to get.

At present, pgenic silkworms have been raised in a certain scale in Hechuan.

First genetically modified silk dress debut

Genetically modified silkworm spun silk is called genetically modified silk, and genetically modified silk clothing is naturally called genetically modified silk clothing.

Yesterday, Southwestern University showed the world's first genetically modified silk garment.

The dress was first made at Southwestern University 27 days ago.

Because it is a silk garment woven by pgenic silkworms, this garment presents itself in green fluorescent protein, green in yellow.

At first glance, it is a coarse linen garment, worn on the body, fine and smooth, and also spreads the fragrance of natural silk.

"Under ultraviolet radiation, it will produce green fluorescence, even in the evening, as long as there is ultraviolet light, it also needs to shine."

Academician Xiang Zhonghuai said.

Xiang Zhonghuai said, "pgenic silk is also widely used in medicine. As a medical material, pgenic silk can be used as artificial skin, artificial blood vessels and artificial organs.
