State
Agrobacterium tumefaciens naturally transfers DNA from its Ti plasmid into a plant's genome, a process researchers repurpose to insert chosen DNA fragments.
Show
Researchers remove a Ti plasmid's tumor-causing genes and replace them with a desired DNA fragment, which the bacterium then delivers into the plant genome.
Watch for
Unmodified Agrobacterium's Ti plasmid causes tumors — those genes are removed specifically for transformation.
Unlocks
- Nothing yet depends on this.
