One of the methods by which recombinant DNA can be introduced into host cell is by 'heat shock' treatment (electro-poration). Write down other three important methods by which we can introduce alien DNA into host cells .

Assertion : Special methods are used for transformation i.e., incorporation of recombinant DNA into host. Reason : DNA is a hydrophilic molecule.

Assertion : Downstream processing is generally considered more difficult and costlier in plants than that in microbes. Reason : Rhizosecretion is used as a method to facilitate easier recovery of recombinant proteins from plants.
