Place the steps in creating a transgenic crop in the order in which they occur in the process. Add the infected Agrobacterium to small bits of plant cells so that they can insert their DNA that can then be integrated into the plant chromosomes. Culture infected plant cells in medium to promote plant cells to regenerate into tiny plantlets Find the DNA gene of interest that you want to transfer into the plant, and place it into a vector like a plasmid that can infect Agrobacterium tumerfaciens. Expose the plant cuttings to herbicide to kill any cells that have not incorporated the herbicide-resistant gene into their DNA. Transfer the plant to the growth chamber to mature into a fully formed plant.

Step 1
First, we need to find the DNA gene of interest that we want to transfer into the plant and place it into a vector like a plasmid that can infect Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Show more…

Of the following descriptions, select the methods by which scientists can genetically modify plants. Check All That Apply Plasmids (from the plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens) or viruses are used as vectors to introduce genes into plant cells Industrial soil fungi strains are modified to pass on genes to the roots of plants Small particles of genetically modified DNA coating a metal are fired by a gene gun into plant tissue Insects, that serve as vectors for human diseases, are modified to insert transgenic DNA into plants Small pieces of RNA are used to silence the expression of specific genes
Dr. Anas S.
You have constructed a synthetic gene that encodes an enzyme that degrades the herbicide glyphosate. You wish to introduce your synthetic gene into Arabidopsis plants and test the transgenic plants for resistance to glyphosate. How could you produce a transgenic Arabidopsis plant harboring your synthetic gene by $A$. tumefaciens-mediated transformation?
