The standard PLANT cell transformation method uses:
ACaCl2 + heat shock (bacterial method)
BElectroporation (mainly animal cells)
CAgrobacterium tumefaciens with Ti plasmid
DMicroinjection with a glass needle
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Agrobacterium tumefaciens with Ti plasmid
Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a natural plant pathogen; its Ti plasmid transfers DNA into plant cells. A DISARMED (tumour-disabled) version is the standard plant biotech vector. CaCl2-heat is for E. coli. Electroporation + microinjection for animal cells.
