  3. Introduction  The “sharing” of DNA among living forms is well documented as a natural phenomenon.  For thousands of years, genes have moved from one organism to another.  For example, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a soil bacterium known as 'nature's own genetic engineer', has the natural ability to genetically engineer plants.

  6. What What is is Gene Genetransfer transfer Insertion of copies of a gene into living cells in order to induce synthes is of the gene's product. Why Genetransfer? ❖ To add a desired trait to a crop, a foreign gene (transgene) encoding the trait must be inserted into plant cells, along with a “cassette” of genetic material. The cassette includes a DNA sequence called a “promoter,” which determines where and when the foreign. ❖ Gene is expressed in the host, and a “marker gene” that allows breeders to determine which plants contain the inserted gene by screening or selection. additional

  7. Why genetically Engineer Plants? ➢To improve the agricultural, horticultural or ornamental value of a crop plant. ➢To serve as a living bioreactor for the production of economically proteins or metabolites ➢To provide a renewable source of energy To provide a powerful means for studying the action of genes (and gene products) during development and other biological processes important

  8. Desired Traits Pest resistance Herbicide tolerance Viral resistance Drought resistance Increased nutritional value Improved Fruit Altered ripening

  9. Genetic Engineering Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification, is the direct manipulation of an organism's Genome using Biotechnology New DNA may be inserted in the host genome by first isolating and copying the genetic material of interest using Molecular Cloning methods to generate a DNA sequence, or by synthesizing the DNA, and then inserting this construct into the host organism.

  10. Engineer  An Engineer is a Professional Practitioner of Engineering, concerned Scientific Knowledge and ingenuity to develop solutions for technical problems.  Engineers design materials, structures, and systems while considering imposed by practicality, regulation, safety, and cost.  The word Engineer is derived from the Latin roots ingeniare ("to contrive, devise") and ingenium ("cleverness") with applying the limitations

  11. TRANSGENIC PLANTS ✓The process of introducing new genes into plants to produce new traits is called Plant Genetic Engineering. ✓The product of this process is called Transgenic Plants. Transgenic plants contain a gene or genes which have been artificially inserted. The inserted genes are known as transgenic. 5/20/2020 12

  12. TRANSGENIC PLANTS – AN INTRODUCTION ❖ Transformation – The process of obtaining transgenic plants. ❖ Transgenic plant – a plant with a foreign gene (or genes) from another plant/animal that is incorporated into its chromosome ❖ Marc Van Montagu and Jeff Schell, discovered the gene transfer mechanism between which resulted in the development of methods to alter the bacterium into an efficient delivery system for genetic engineering in plants. ❖ Most common genes (and traits) in transgenic or biotech crops herbicide resistance Insecticide resistance, Bt genes in field corn (maize) virus-resistance (coat-protein) genes Agrobacterium and plants,

  37. POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is a method to analyze a short sequence of DNA (or RNA) even in samples containing only minute quantities of DNA or RNA. Kary Banks Mullis (Born December 28, 1944) is a Nobel Prize -winning American Biochemist, author, and lecturer. In recognition of his improvement of the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique

  38. PCR Animation Denaturation: DNA melts Annealing: Primers bind Extension: DNA is replicated

  39. Recombinant DNA & Plasmids Combining genes from different sources and/or species  Circular DNA from bacteria = plasmids  Target DNA recombined in plasmid  Bacteria rapidly reproduces many clones
