State the role of “biolistic gun” in biotechnology experiments.

उत्तर
A biolistic gene, or gene gun, introduces alien DNA into plant cells. This method involves bombarding host cells with high-velocity gold or tungsten microparticles coated with DNA molecules. This allows for genetic manipulation without requiring complicated tissue culture.
