Genetically engineering plants involves introducing a recombinant plasmid into plant cells, followed by selection using antibiotic resistance to develop plants with desired traits like herbicide resistance.
Genetically engineering plants involves creating a recombinant plasmid with desired genes, introducing it into plant cells via bacteria, and then selecting for successfully modified cells using antibiotic resistance. Cultured cells then develop into resistant plants.
| Front | genetically engineering plants |
|---|---|
| Back | - get recombitant plasmid (with gene for weedkilller and a gene for antibiotic resistence), and place into a bacterial cell, the cut leaf and expose bacteria to leaf so leaf cells take up bacterial cell - expose to antibiotics and then grow surviving (successful) cells to form callus, which will sprout shoots and roots, then plants develop weedkiller resistence |
