Which of the following methods is not commonly used for introducing foreign DNA into the plant cell?
- ABacteriophages
- BAgrobacterium mediated transformation
- CGene gun
- D‘Disarmed pathogen’ vectors
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
Option (a) is the correct answer because bacteriophages act as a cloning vector for bacterial cells, not the plant cells.
Options (b), (c) and (d) are not the correct answers because Agrobacterium, gene gun and disarmed pathogens as vectors are used for introducing foreign DNA into the plant cells.
