🎁Question 4-Name bacteria used as vector to insect nematode specific genes in the host plant? (Biology 2018-19 AMU +2)
Ruhul Amin Alig
The Agrobacterium are used as vectors carrying nematode specific genes to be introduced in host plant. These genes when expressed inside host plant produces sense and anti-sense RNA strands, complementary to nematode's functional mRNA. Related Questions What are nematode specific genes? Using Agrobacterium vectors, nematode-specific genes were introduced into the host plant. These genes are targeted to specifically destroy the nematode. The introduction of DNA produced both sense and anti-sense RNA in the host cells. When the mRNA of the parasite was destroyed, no protein was synthesised What are the six different types of vectors? The six major types of vectors are:
Plasmid. Circular extrachromosomal DNA that autonomously replicates inside the bacterial cell. ...
Phage. Linear DNA molecules derived from bacteriophage lambda. ...
