Mitochondrial DNA of Higher Plants and Genetic Engineering

  • Chapter
Genetic Engineering

Part of the book series: Genetic Engineering ((GEPM))

Abstract

The advent and development of techniques of recombinant DNA and genetic engineering in prokaryotes has led to much speculation concerning the application of this technology to the broad area of higher plant improvement. Central to the development of this technology is the acquisition of a suitable vector or vehicle molecule which could be used to transfer desirable genetic information into plant cells. Prominent potential vehicles include the Ti-plasmids of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, the DNA plant viruses such as cauliflower mosaic virus, and the chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes of higher plants.
