Study Notes
Genetic Modification of Crops
- The Golden Rice plant is transformed through a process called genetic modification, which involves the introduction of foreign genes into the plant's genome.
- The gene responsible for providing Golden Rice with its yellow color due to the presence of B-carotene is the psy gene.
- In the context of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) technology, the substance that inactive toxin converts into active toxin is delta-endotoxin.
- The plant that is NOT mentioned in the list of crops associated with Bt technology is Golden Rice.
- Genes are delivered into plant cells through a process called biolistics, which involves the use of a gene gun to bombard plant cells with tiny particles coated with the desired gene.
