example of genetic engineering is soybean resistant to _______ allows the farmer to kill the weeds in the field without harming the soybeans

After penetrating the cell, the DNA _______ from around the gold carrier particle

Researchers typically start by selecting a Ti plasmid that _____ the genes responsible for causing plant tumors but retains the necessary genes for transferring the T-DNA into plant cells.

Plant tissue carrying the _____ gene for firefly luciferase emits blue light when provided with the substrate luciferin.

is defined as a group of undifferentiated mass of cells.

The Agrobacterium carrying the binary vector is cultured to reach a high density.

can enhance the yield of crop plants by increasing resistance to pests, diseases, and environmental stressors.

The transformed plants are further analyzed to confirm the presence of the desired gene and to ensure its proper integration into the plant's genome.

contains both a transgene and a selective marker or reporter gene. These have separate promoters and termination signals

Depending on the specific goals of the tissue culture, the callus can be induced to differentiate into specific types of plant tissues, such as roots, shoots, or somatic embryos, by altering the composition of the culture medium and growth conditions.

In the 1920s, scientists realized that _______ could be induced in seeds by using chemical mutagens or by exposure to X-rays or gamma rays.

Is a well-established technique in plant biotechnology, particularly for the genetic transformation of dicotyledonous plants. 

Over time, plant cultures can become crowded and may lose their vigor.

Liquid culture media for plant cells typically contain essential nutrients, including:

is a field of biotechnology that involves the deliberate alteration of a plant's genetic material to achieve specific desirable traits or characteristics.

Before any genetically modified plant can be grown commercially or released into the environment, it must undergo a rigorous regulatory approval process to ensure environmental and human I consumption safety.

can occur due to various factors, including mutations caused by radiation, chemicals, errors during DNA replication, or naturally occurring variations.

Plant material is introduced into the sterile liquid culture medium. This can include explants (pieces of plant tissue), callus tissue, or suspension cultures of plant cells.

The culture medium and explant are placed in a controlled environment

DNA carrying the ntt gene is no longer killed by ______. This allows direct selection of transformed cells as treatment with _______ kills any cells that did not integrate the DNA.

can influence gene expression, tissue differentiation, and responses to stress and environmental conditions.

After co-cultivation, the plant tissue is transferred to a selection medium that contains antibiotics or herbicides.

One widely used reporter gene is ______

uses calcium chloride to neutralize electrostatic repulsion between the plasmid DNA and bacterial cellular membrane.

____________ in plants is a method used to create new plant varieties with desired traits by inducing mutations in their DNA.

is a site-specific recombinase, which means it can recognize and bind to specific DNA sequences and I catalyze recombination events at those sites.

Periodically, the callus is transferred to fresh culture media to maintain its growth and prevent it from differentiating into specific cell types or tissues.

sites are specific DNA secuences typically 34 base pairs in length, recognized and bound by the Cre recombinase.

The binary vector carrying the gene of interest is introduced into Agrobacterium tumefaciens using heat shock or electroporation.

Once confirmed, the transformed plants are propagated through conventional breeding or tissue culture.
