Answer» Answer: One of the stellar achievements of twentieth century plant biology was the GENETIC transformation of somatic cells enabling the regeneration of whole PLANTS that were stably transformed and capable of transmitting the inserted genetic material to subsequent generations. This achievement grew out of three independent lines of research initiated early in the twentieth century: plant tissue culture, regeneration of plants from single somatic cells, and the study of crown gall DISEASE. The early discoveries made in these areas represent a combination of basic SCIENTIFIC research and technological innovations and led to the development of genetically transformed crop species expressing traits unobtainable by conventional BREEDING. Each of these fields can be traced back to a single resea |
