Transgenic Plants
Progress is being made on several fronts to introduce new
traits into
plants using
recombinant DNA technology.

The only
plasmid that
plant cells take up is the Ti (
tumor-inducing)
plasmid from the bacterium Agrobacterium. The
plasmid transferred by this bacterium causes
plants to form a gall.

plant or
offspring of genetically engineered
plants. The
transgenic plant usually contains material from at least one unrelated
organisms, such as from a
virus,
animal, or other
plant. See
Transgenic.

vaccines available in crops could help people in developing nations where
transportation, refrigeration, and disposable needle supplies are limited.
