* Plant Transformation: Reasons: Deliver function, remove function, test function: over/extopic expression, antisense, co-supression, RNAi Create mutation: insertion mutagenesis Requires: Gene of interest Regulatory sequences Selectable marker(s) Delivery system Antisense, co-supression, RNAi are likely mechanistically similar - elicit endogenous defense response Antisense: expression of all or part of the corresponding antisesense mRNA of a target gene Co-supression: expression of all or part of the corresponding sense mRNA of a target gene RNAi: expression of a “h
