The successful transfer of recombinant DNA into plants was vividly illustrated by an experiment in which the luciferase gene from fireflies was introduced into the cells of a tobacco plant (Fig. 9-29)—a favorite plant for transformation experiments because its cells are particularly easy to transform with Agrobacterium. The potential of this technology is not limited to the production of glow-in-the-dark plants, of course. The same approach has been used to produce crop plants that are resistant to herbicides, plant viruses, and insect pests (Fig. 9-30). Potential benefits include increased yields and less need for environmentally harmful agricultural chemicals.
