-
Agrobacterium based transformation of protoplasts obtained from dicots is based on the fact that
-
- These exhibit strong chromosomal structures
- These have two cotyledons
- These exhibit strong wound response
- These have long tap root system
Correct Option: C
Agrobacterium infection method has been extensively used to transfer foreign DNA into a number of dicotlyledonous species with the exception of soybean (Glycine max). However, this technique of gene transfer was not successful in monocotyledons for reasons yet unknown most probable being the lack of wound response of monocotyledonous cells.
