Mosquito repellent beautyberry
gene is a gene that is found in the beautyberry plant, especially in the American Beautyberry.
Fresh, crushed leaves of American beautyberry(Callicarpa americana) helped keep biting insects away from animals and
humans. Callicarpenal is the chemical that is found in the beautyberry plant that repels mosquitoes. If we genetically modify ourselves and animals such as mice, horses, mules, and donkeys with the Mosquito repellent beautyberry gene, we would produce Callicarpenal and repel mosquitoes.
