GENETIC ENGINEERING:
Oomycete

Here's the Problem

Oomycete Overview of Transgenic Strategies from Plant and Soil Sciences eLibrary on Vimeo.

Objective: Learn the steps of genetic engineering used in the process of developing oomycete resistant soybean.

Let’s Get Started

Steps to the Solution

Step 1: Gene Discovery

Finding the right gene that provides resistance to disease is key to developing transgenics.  

Step 2: Transformation & Transgene Design

The transgene can be delivered to plant cells using a gene gun.

Step 3: Breeding & Event Testing

The transgene is bred into the best varieties for farmers to grow.

Step 4: DNA & Protein Testing

Evaluation of plants to verify the transgene made it into the final product using genetic testing.
