Main conclusion Plant tissue culture as an important tool for the continuous production of
active compounds including secondary metabolites and engineered molecules. Novel …

Plant transformation has enabled fundamental insights into plant biology and revolutionized
commercial agriculture. Unfortunately, for most crops, transformation and regeneration …

Plant genetic transformation heavily relies on the bacterial pathogen Agrobacterium
tumefaciens as a powerful tool to deliver genes of interest into a host plant. Inside the plant …

The past several years have seen an explosion in development of applications for the
CRISPR-Cas9 system, from efficient genome editing, to high-throughput screening, to …

The Agrobacterium vacuum infiltration method has made it possible to transform Arabidopsis
thaliana without plant tissue culture or regeneration. In the present study, this method was …

Agrobacterium strains transfer a single-strand form of T-DNA (T-strands) and Virulence (Vir)
effector proteins to plant cells. Following transfer, T-strands likely form complexes with Vir …

Agrobacterium tumefaciens and related Agrobacterium species have been known as plant
pathogens since the beginning of the 20th century. However, only in the past two decades …

Agrobacterium‐mediated transient assays for gene function are increasingly being used as
alternatives to genetic complementation and stable transformation. However, such assays …

▪ Abstract The phytopathogenic bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens genetically transforms
plants by transferring a portion of the resident Ti-plasmid, the T-DNA, to the plant …

Twenty-six years ago it was found that the common soil bacterium Agrobacterium
tumefaciens is capable of extraordinary feats of interkingdom genetic transfer. Since this …
