Genetic transformation in plants means changing the plant's DNA to give it new traits. Here's a simple explanation of how it works:
1. Choosing the Trait: Scientists decide what new trait they want the plant to have, like resistance to pests or better growth in poor soil.
2. Finding the Gene: They find a gene (a piece of DNA) that gives this trait. This gene can come from another plant, an animal, or even bacteria.
3. Inserting the Gene: They put this gene into the plant's DNA. There are a couple of common ways to do this:
o Using Bacteria: A special bacteria called Agrobacterium can naturally insert genes into plants. Scientists put the new gene into the bacteria, and then let the bacteria transfer it to the plant.
o Particle Bombardment: Scientists coat tiny particles with the new gene and shoot them into plant cells. The new gene then becomes part of the plant's DNA.
4. Growing the Plant: The plant cells with the new gene are grown into whole plants. These plants now have the new trait.
5. Testing: Scientists check the new plants to make sure they have the trait and that it works as expected.
This process allows plants to have new and useful characteristics that they didn't have before.
