1. The cauliflower mosaic virus genome, when used as a vector, will not be able to express the aphid transmission protein if there is successful insertion of the gene of interest. 2. Viral vectors can be used to transform plant cells because plants have natural viral pathogens that transfer their genome to the plant. 3. Plant cells attain a protoplastic state only after removal of the cell wall. 4. Transient transfection is preferred if the gene of interest is desired to be expressed by generations of stable cell lines.
