Question

Why Agrobacterium is considered a "natural plant genetic engineer." Discuss how its genes related to gene transfer are organized, how this allows it to survive in the environment, and how plant biotechnologists have modified it to transfer genes of interest to agriculture. What is gene silencing? How can it be used to overcome virus infection in transgenic plants? Could it be possible to make a plant resistant to a virus by using gene editing technology such as CRISPR-Cas9? Which one, siRNA or gene editing technology, would you prefer and why?

14-how-can-genes-from-genetically-modified-plant-be-transferred-to-plant-that-is-not-genetically-modified-can-such-gene-transfers-occur-between-different-species-of-plants-what-are-the-dange-51082

14. How can genes from a genetically modified plant be transferred to a plant that is not genetically modified? Can such gene transfers occur between different species of plants? What are the dangers, if any, for harm to non-pest organisms feeding on the GMO or coming in contact with the pollen of the genetically modified plant? Are there dangers of transferring genes from a genetically modified plant to a “weed” species growing nearby? Why would such an event be of concern? 15. What methods are available for detection of genetically modified crops and products? Which is most sensitive? Which has the broadest application in GMO detection and is generally accepted for regulatory purposes? Why? What is the advantage(s) of using an immunoassay, ELISA? Which is faster and more readily available for use in “field” sampling

Why is GMO modification different for plants and animals? Plants have a cell wall Plants do not have DNA The mitochondria in plants and animals is different Plants photosynthesize A farming practice that maintains soil cover is referred to as: Reduced tillage Intercropping Irrigation Arid land practice Which of the following allows farmers to address the control of weeds? Cropping rotation Tillage Intercropping All of the above Electroporation is a process in which: DNA is added to a mixture of plant cell protoplasts and the solution is subjected to high voltage. RNA is added to a mixture of plant cell protoplasts and the solution is subjected to high voltage. DNA is added to a mixture of animal cell protoplasts and the solution is subjected to high voltage. RNA is added to a mixture of animal cell protoplasts and the solution is subjected to high voltage.
