Study Notes
Plant Biotechnology
- Single crops often need to meet multiple requirements, including sustainable food and healthful nutrition, environmental protection, and job opportunities.
- Developing suitable plants is a complex challenge.
Gene Transfer Process
- Involves removing genetic information from an organism, manipulating it in a laboratory, and transferring it into a plant to alter certain characteristics.
- Electrical pulses are applied to a suspension of cells with DNA in an electroporation cuvette placed between electrodes.
Gene Transfer Methods
- Electroporation method: uses electrical pulses to transfer genes.
- Silicon carbide method: uses fibers of organic material like silicon carbide for gene transfer.
Progress in Gene Transfer Technology
- Dramatic progress has been made in the development of a gene transfer system for higher plants in the last few years.
- About 20 crops can be genetically engineered at present.
