This will include restricted access to authorised workers, ensuring that all areas are swabbed with a recommended disinfectant, no laboratory clothing allowed outside of the laboratory and all outdoor clothing will be stored in offices. All contaminated waste will be autoclaved. |
To reduce DNA transmission to neighbouring plants, the genetically modified plants will be confined to the laboratory and will be autoclaved after use. Any experiments involving Agrobacterium tumefaciens in transient expression experiments in Nicotiana benthamiana will be conducted in plant growth rooms that provide the necessary level of containment for infiltrated plants. All plant material in these growth rooms (whether infiltrated or not) will ultimately be destroyed by autoclaving in accordance with our institutional safety requirements. | To reduce DNA transmission to neighbouring plants, the genetically modified plants will be confined to the laboratory and will be autoclaved after use.
