Transformation – the process of obtaining transgenic plants
Transgenic plant – a plant with a foreign gene (or genes) from another plant/animal that is incorporated into its chromosome
Marc Van Montagu and Jeff Schell, discovered the gene transfer mechanism between Agrobacterium and plants, which resulted in the development of methods to alter the bacterium into
an efficient deliver sstem for genetic engineering in plants.
Most common genes (and traits) in transgenic or biotech crops
herbicide resistance
!nsecticide resistance
"t genes in field corn (mai#e)

A natural genetic engineer

a gall)

cytokinin synthesis) +

9 Scientists can insert an gene the want into the plasmid in place of the tumorcausing genes and subse3uentl into the plant cell genome
9 " varing e&perimental materials, culture conditions, bacterial strains, etc
scientists have successfull used A. tumefaciens %ene Transfer to produce "T .orn
9 This method of gene transfer enables large 1* strands to be transferred into
the plant cell without ris of rearrangement whereas other methods lie the %ene %un
have trouble doing this
9 The vast ma:orit of approved geneticall engineered agriculture has been

Transformed plants will help the world to meet the human demands for food,
energ, medicine, shelter, clothing, and a cleaner environment
%ene transfer technolog is being used to produce plants capable of hper
accumulating to&ic metals from soil and water, thus contributing to a cleanerenvironment
!ncreases in plant production are needed to meet growing demands for food
Transformed -lants offers significant advantages over traditional plant breeding
in developing improved crops
