Biofuel is an incredible emerging field in energy technology. Using plant products or food waste — even something as simple ...

This work was aided by the development of another key tool in plant transgenics: the Ti plasmid of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, used as a workhorse of plant genetic engineering to shuttle foreign ...

One of the most common plant tumours is crown gall, a disease caused by the bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The tumour ...

Agrobacterium tumefaciens transfers some of its own DNA to the infected plant cell's DNA. This means that scientists can test the DNA of the infected plant to see if it has been infected by ...

The diagram illustrates the process of genetic modification using Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Initially, the agrobacterium cell contains a bacterial ... The bacterium is used to insert the T-DNA, now ...
