Transgenic plants can be produced by introducing foreign genes into immature plant embryos or by treating protoplasts with electric current in the presence of foreign DNA to create tiny holes in the plasma membrane.
Las plantas transgénicas se pueden producir introduciendo genes extraños en embriones vegetales inmaduros o tratando protoplastos con corriente eléctrica en presencia de ADN extraño para crear microagujeros en la membrana plasmática.

| Back | 1) Introduce foreign genes into immature plant embryos 2) Treat protoplasts with electric current while they are suspended in a liquid containing foreign DNA, to make *tiny self-sealing holes* in the plasma membrane. |
