Question

Describe two methods (and the technology behind them) that plants are transformed into genetically modified organisms.

Answer 1

Gentically modified plant have special characters.They have resistance to particular disease or pests or they can able to produce commercial vaulable product ( proteins.etc).

Different method are use to plant transformed into gentically modified organisms.plant transformation techniques are classified in to two indirect transformation method .in this vector are used to create gentically modified plants, that inculde Agrobacterium mediated gene transfer.

Direct gene transfer method : it invovle physical and chemical methods.

Micro injection

Using a glass pipette Foreign DNA ( gene of interest) injected in to living cell.

Electroporation

This is another techniques used for gene transformation. A electrical field apply to the cell that increase the permibilty of the cell. Cell placed in a electroporation buffer and electrical field appliyed and it increases the permibilty of the cell and the foreign DNA entered to the cell.

Gene gun is onther method used gene transfer.
