Transgenic plants are the ones
A
Grown in artificial medium after hybridization in the field
B
Produced by a somatic embryo in artificial medium
C
Generated by introducing foreign DNA into a cell and regenerating a plant from that cell
D
Produced after protoplast fusion in artificial medium
Detailed Solution
Organisms whose genes have been altered by manipulation are called genetically modified or transgenic organisms.
A transgenic plant is produced by introducing a foreign gene (DNA) into a plant cell, by a vector such as the Ti plasmid or by a direct method, and then regenerating a whole plant from that transformed cell by tissue culture.
Every cell of such a plant carries and expresses the foreign gene.
Plants raised from somatic embryos are somaclones, and plants produced after protoplast fusion are somatic hybrids; neither contains foreign DNA introduced by genetic engineering.
Hence transgenic plants are those generated by introducing foreign DNA into a cell and regenerating a plant from that cell.
