9.Biotechnology Principals and Process
medium
Although the $Ti $ plasmid has revolutionised plant genetic engineering one limitation of its use is that it
A
Cannot infect broad leaf plants
B
Cannot be used on fruit-bearing plants
C
Cannot transmit prokaryotic genes
D
Does not infect cereal plants such as corn and rice
Solution
Ti plasmid of A. tumefacians does not infect cereals such as rice, corns, wheat, barley maize etc. . Broad leaf plants and fruit bearing plants are mostly dicotyledonous and can be infected by Ti plasmid. It can transmit prokaryotic genes.
