Methods to insert desirable genes into a target cell in the production of a transgenic plant includes the use a crown gall bacterium or ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct method for inserting desirable genes into a target cell in the production of a transgenic plant, aside from using a crown gall bacterium (Agrobacterium tumefaciens), is using a particle gun (biolistic method) that fires very small DNA-covered gold pellets into the target cell. This method allows for the direct physical insertion of DNA into the plant cell.
