Plant Transformation Vector - Steps in Plant Transformation

Steps in Plant Transformation

  1. Propagate binary vector in E. coli
  2. Isolate binary vector from E.coli and engineer (introduce a foreign gene)
  3. Re-introduce engineered binary vector into E. coli to amplify
  4. Isolate engineered binary vector and introduce into Agrobacteria containing a modified (relatively small) Ti plasmid
  5. Infect plant tissue with engineered Agrobacteria (T-DNA containing the foreign gene gets inserted into a plant cell genome)
  6. In each cell T-DNA gets integrated at a different site in the genome
  • Note: There are many variations to these steps. A custom DNA plasmid sequence can be created and replicated in more than one way.

Famous quotes containing the words steps in, steps and/or plant:

    Now Morn her rosy steps in th’ eastern clime
    Advancing, sowed the earth with orient pearl.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    I honor most those to whom I show least honor; and where my soul moves with great alacrity, I forget the proper steps of ceremony.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    I wish that friendship should have feet, as well as eyes and eloquence. It must plant itself on the ground, before it vaults over the moon. I wish it to be a little of a citizen, before it is quite a cherub.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
