Solution
Electroporation: A method for increasing DNA uptake by protoplast through prior exposure to high voltage which results in the temporary formation of small pore in cell membranes.
Gene Gun: It is the vectorless transfer of gene where tungsten or gold particles coating with desired genes are bombarded into the cells with great force.
