This document discusses transgenic plants. It begins with definitions of key terms like transgenic and transgenesis. It then describes various gene transfer methods used to create transgenic plants, including Agrobacterium transformation, biolistic bombardment, and floral dip transformation. Applications of transgenic plants that are discussed include increasing biotic/abiotic stress resistance, improving crop yields and traits. Examples given are flavr savr tomato and golden rice. The document concludes by noting transgenic plants hold promise to address food insecurity but must be developed safely.

What is transgenic
A transgenic plant is a plant which contains
a single gene or multiple genes of a different
species artificially inserted in its genome, which
may come from an unrelated plant or from a
completed different species.

1. Transgenic? When a foreign gene transferred into a
plant genome and it expresses the character encoded
by transgene.
2. Transgenesis? The process by which transgenic plants are
formed
3. Transformation? Any chimeric gene transfer into plant
genome.
4. Trans-gene? Its a particular gene isolated from Arabidopsis
and transferred into Brassica.
5. Cis-gene? Its a particular gene isolated from
same plant in which it is transferred.
6. Chimeric? Combination of two or more coding sequence.

Detection of Transgenic Plants
Use of selectable marker and reporter gene
(GUS/GFP) Green fluorescent protein makes cells
glow green under UV light/520 nm.
Gus assay (using β-glucuronidase is an
excellent method for detecting a single cell

Applications:
Main applications of transgenic plants are:
1. Resistant to biotic and abiotic stress
2. Improvement of crop yield, and quality
e.g. storage, longer shelf life of fruits and flowers.
3. Transgenic plants with improved nutrition.
4. Transgenic plants as bioreactors for the manufacture of
commercial products. e.g. proteins, vaccines, and
biodegradable
plastics.

Flavr savr Tomato
An antisense copy of Polygalacturonase gene
was inserted into the tomato genome
It degrades pectin, a component responsible for softening of
cell wall.
In 1994, the Flavr savr became the first commercially
grown genetically engineered food.

Conclusion
“Genetically modified foods is pure, safe and
hygienic. As per world population this is the best way
to solve world hunger and malnutrition problems, and
preserve the environment by increasing crops yield
with reducing the use of pesticides and herbicides.
However we must avoid unintended harm to
human health and our environment during
experimentation”.
