Why are the phytohormone genes considered expendible in a pTi vector for transgenic plant creation? (Select all that apply)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

C) Removing phytohormone genes from the pTi vector allows for the introduction of larger recombinant gene fragments into the plant, as it frees up space within the vector. D) The original function of the phytohormone genes in the pTi vector is to induce tumor formation (gall formation) in plants, which is beneficial for the bacteria but not desirable for creating healthy transgenic plants. Therefore, these genes are considered expendable and are often removed to prevent the formation of tumorous cell masses in the transgenic plants.
