Question

In the Wheat Dwarf Virus vector system, where is the engineered DNA directly introduced for replication?

Options

• Plant seed embryos

• Plant root hairs

• Plant guard cells

• Plant protoplasts

Answer 1

In the Wheat Dwarf Virus vector system, engineered DNA is introduced directly into plant protoplasts for replication. Protoplasts are plant cells that have had their cell walls removed, making them amenable to direct DNA uptake.
