Study Notes

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is a common method for plant genetic modification.
Tumorigenic genes are removed from the bacterium during transformation.
The binary vector system is a two-plasmid system that is effective for transforming plant cells.
Leaf pieces, cotyledons, stem segments, callus suspension cultures, and germinating seeds can be used as explants for transformation.
Viruses have been investigated as vectors for gene transfer in plants, but are not routinely used.
Biolistics is the most effective and widely used method for generating commercial transgenic crops.
Physico-chemical uptake of DNA by protoplasts and cells can be used to produce transgenic plants.
Electroporation can induce pores in the protoplast membrane to allow for DNA uptake.
T-DNA, Agrobacterium chromosomal virulence genes, and Ti plasmid virulence genes are the genetic elements that constitute the T-DNA transfer machinery.
An efficient tissue culture system is required for the regeneration of transformant cells.
