To transform a plant, scientists inject DNA into a plant leaf. TRUE OR FALSE?
For sure that is true.
youre sure ?
super duper sure?
Yes.
righteo
trusting yewwwwwwwww
Let me know the results. :)
i shall
Here is a little reference for your handsome face. Read step #3 http://www.popularmechanics.com/home/skills/how-to-make-a-plant-glow-17081845
you havent called me that in ages
lol
yes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformation_(genetics) and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_transformation_vector Plant transformation vectors are plasmids that have been specifically designed to facilitate the generation of transgenic plants. The most commonly used plant transformation vectors are termed binary vectors because of their ability to replicate in both E. coli, a common lab bacterium, and Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a bacterium used to insert the recombinant (customized) DNA into plants. Plant Transformation vectors contain three key elements; Plasmids Selection (creating a custom circular strand of DNA) Plasmids Replication (so that it can be easily worked with) T-DNA region (inserting the DNA into the agrobacteria)
