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 …

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 genetic transformation is the dominant technology used for the
production of genetically modified transgenic plants. Extensive research aimed at …

Agrobacterium-mediated plant transformation (AMT) is the basis of modern-day plant
biotechnology. One major drawback of this technology is the recalcitrance of many plant …

▪ 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 …

Agrobacterium tumefaciens causes tumour formation in plants. Plant signals induce in the
bacteria the expression of a range of virulence (Vir) proteins and the formation of a type IV …

Genetic transformation mediated by Agrobacterium involves the transfer of a DNA molecule
(T-DNA) from the bacterium to the eukaryotic host cell, and its integration into the host …

Medicinal plants are integral to traditional medicine systems worldwide, being pivotal for
human health. Harvesting plant material from natural environments, however, has led to …
