I think it has to be an embryo or it won't work. Plant embryos are inside the seed.

Is it true to transform a plant scientists inject DNA into an adult plant?
FALSE for E2020 students
To genetically modify a plant scientists introduce DNA into an adult plant?
To genetically modify a plant, scientists insert foreign DNA into plant cells. This is not a perfectly efficient process and results in some cells not taking up the foreign DNA. Generally, foreign DNA is attached to an extra piece of DNA called the marker DNA which is used to select only those cells that have accepted the foreign DNA. Once these cells are selected, they are vegetatively propagated in plant tissue culture media till they reach a certain stage. After which they are transferred to soil.
How do scientists genetically map DNA of a pea plant?
Usually by using a karyotype.
Can Scientists can produce plant food just like a leaf can?
They remove the cell wall, the cells can take up DNA by themselves, or it can be inserted directly into the nucleus.Plant cells can also be transformed without removing the cell wall. DNA that codes for a gene of interest can be inserted within a length of DNA that also has coding for transposon activity. The DNA is then attached to ultra-fine particles of gold, which are "fired" into the plant cells using a pneumatic gun. There are plant enzymes that become activated in response to the mechanical trauma to the cell and some of those enzymes can pick up DNA fragments and insert them into the nucleus. DNA repair enzymes will find the DNA fragments, and because of the transposon components, will insert the entire piece of DNA into the plant genome.Usually this is done to plant tissue cultures. Because this is an inexact process, many plant tissue culture "colonies" will be bombarded with the gold particles "laced" with DNA and scientists will screen the cultures for one or more that had a successful insertion.
What does bacteriophage inject into a cell?
A bacteriophage ("eater of bacteria") inject their DNA (or RNA) into the cell.
Can you kill yourself if you inject yourself with animsal DNA?
well it may develop into cancer if other DNA is mixed into your body's cell. but not inject anyway.
What word inject DNA or RNA into the nucleus of a cell to reproduce?
DNA or RNA
What do scientists do to adult cells to make them ''behave'' like embryos?
They take the nucleus out of one cell and put it in the next WITH the DNA.
Which viruses inject their DNA?
Bacteriophage T4 virus
What does a phage inject when it attaches to a bacterium?
Dna and phage body
How do viruses affect your DNA?
They inject their DNA which infuses with a cell's DNA and tells the cell to start creating more viruses.
What led scientists accepting mendel idea?
Scientists discovered chromosomes in DNA
