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 else can I help you with?
Do scientists classify plant into three large groups?
Four: bryophytes, ferns, gymnosperms and angiosperms
Are ecologists the same thing as scientists?
No. Ecologists study nature and scientists study just about everything.Further answerAn ecologist is a scientist, but not all scientists are ecologists.
What will happen if plants do not get carbon dioxide?
If plants don't get carbon dioxide, they won't be able to take water from the soil to get sugar from sunlight; this sugar is called "Glucose" which is food for a plant, and plants need sugar so they can break it down to get the energy that they need to avoid wilting. Carbon dioxide enters the plant through the leaves and comes back out of the plant as oxygen from the water in the soil, and the carbon dioxide turns into sugar
What type of experiments do scientists do?
it just depends on what kind of scientist they are
Bacteria in hydrothermal vent communities use this to produce food?
Chemosynthesis. It synthesizes molecular "food" be using energy derived from oxidizing hydrogen and/or nitrogen. This is used by organisms which have developed to exploit habitats deprived of sunlight, such as indoors in heat system vents or outdoors in deep ocean.
What part of a carrot plant makes food?
The leaves of a carrot plant use photosynthesis to produce food in the form of sugars. These sugars are then transported down to the roots where they are stored as energy in the form of carbohydrates.
What does the plant use the mitochondria for?
The plant uses mitochronria just as animals cells do. They produce engery for all the plants process.
Does coral plant eat food?
yes just like a plant it makes sugar with its leafs
What is the shortest food chain in the food web?
It involves only a plant and a decomposer.
Why leaf is important?
Because it makes energy for the plant by means of photosynthesis. (The plant could do that with just a stem but it would not produce enough.
You heard that you could use birth control pills as a plant food?
I have used out of date birth control pills for plant food. They work great the plants grow. It's just like using plant food
Where does a saguaro cactus get food?
Saguaro cacti produce there own food by photosynthesis just as all green plants do.
How many seeds make a pumpkin?
Just one seed is needed to grow a Pumpkin plant, the plant should produce at least one Pumpkin.
What plant can produce seeds without flowers?
No. The embryo is the part that grows, the rest of a seed is just nutrients for the growing plant.
How did plant eating dinosaurs digest food?
Just like we did, by eating and digesting!!!
Is chlorpyll and a chloplast in a animal cell or a plant cell?
Just plant cell only.this enable them manufacture their own food.
Can a tomato make its own food?
The tomato plant certainly makes its own food because it is a green plant. The tomato fruit (or veggie if you will) does not make food because it is the fruit of the tomato plant and is just for passing on the seeds.
