#Question id: 18963


The use of wild type pTi as a vector presents the following three problems.
1. Presence of oncogenes (iaaM, iaaH and ipt) in T-DNA, which causes a disorganised growth and a loss of regeneration potentiaLof the cells having T-DNA in their genomes.
2. Their large size makes the handling procedures during cloning tedious and cumbersome.
3. A general lack of unique cloning sites within the T-DNA, which are needed for the insertion of DNA segments to be cloned
In the above mention’s problems, 1 and 3 can removed by disarming and creating MCS, to overcome from 2nd problem need to develop

#Unit 13. Methods in Biology
  1. MCS
  2. using large size DNA
  3. Co-integrate pTi Vectors
  4. using small size DNA
