The following points highlight the top six examples of transgenic plants. The examples are: 1. "High Lysine" Corn 2. Enhanced Nitrogen Fixation 3. Herbicide-Tolerant Plants 4. Disease-Insect-Resistant Varieties 5. Male Sterility 6. Transgenic Plants as Bioreactors (Molecular Farming). Example # 1. "High Lysine" Corn: The proteins stored in plant seeds function as reserves of amino acids used during seed germination [...]
The following points highlight the six significant techniques of gene transfer by help of agrobacterium tumefaciens. The techniques are: 1. Regeneration of Plants from Protoplasts and Callus Tissues 2. The Ti plasmid of Agrobacterium Tumefaciens 3. Formation of Non-oncogenic (or Disarmed) Ti Plasmids 4. Chimeric Selectable Marker Genes and a few others. Technique # 1. Regeneration of Plants from Protoplasts [...]
The following points highlight the top four types of direct gene transfer in plants. The types are: 1. Plant Cell Transformation by Ultra-Sonication 2. Liposome Mediated Gene Transfer 3. Electroporation 4. Particle Bombardment Gun. Type # 1. Plant Cell Transformation by Ultra-Sonication: The Biotechnology Research Centre, Beijing (China) has used technique of ultra-sonication for gene transfer in plants such as [...]
