How are Transgenic Plants Created?

The creation of transgenic plants typically involves several key steps. First, the desired gene is identified and isolated. This gene is then inserted into a vector (usually a bacterial plasmid) that can carry the gene into the plant cells. The vector is introduced into the plant cells through methods such as Agrobacterium-mediated transformation or gene gun techniques. Once inside the plant cells, the new gene integrates into the plant's DNA, and the transformed cells are grown into new plants in a controlled environment.
