Plant cells have a cell wall, which means that gene transfer can only be done by physical methods. Which method would be preferred for the production of a pesticide-resistant plant? Gene transfer using a plasmid from E. coli Gene transfer using a bacteriophage Gene transfer using a gene gun
Added by Laura B.
Step 1
coli is a common method for gene transfer in bacteria, but it is not as effective in plant cells due to the presence of the cell wall. Show more…
