Transformation techniques currently in use still present significant obstacles for the manipulation of rice because the tissue culture response is genotype-dependent. In fact, the ...

A combined public and private team of microbiologists has completed sequencing the genome of the plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens. This bacterium has become an essential tool for plant ...

Depending on the setting, the ability of a crucial bacterium in biotechnology—Agrobacterium tumefaciens—to transfer its DNA to a host plant can make it either a pathogen that damages crops or a ...

Factors influencing the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of both monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plant species have been widely investigated. These factors include manipulating Agrobacterium ...

Sweet potatoes from all over the world naturally contain genes from the bacterium Agrobacterium. Researchers from UGent and the International Potato Institute (CIP) publish this discovery today on the ...

Agrobacterium tumefaciens magnified 15,000 times in an image captured earlier this year with a scanning electron microscope at Iowa State University's Roy J. Carver High Resolution Microscopy Facility ...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.), the staple that feeds over half of the globe, has undergone significant transformation and regeneration advancements over the last two decades. Although Agrobacterium-mediated ...

International Journal of Plant Sciences, Vol. 155, No. 4 (Jul., 1994), pp. 467-470 (4 pages) An Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system, based on the neomycin phosphotransferase II (NPTII) gene, ...

Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a plant pathogen responsible for crown gall disease. I know what you’re thinking, plant pathogen? Boring. Not so! In fact, A. tumefaciens is an incredibly clever and ...

Curdlan, a water‐insoluble β‐(1,3)-glucan, is synthesised by Agrobacterium species under nitrogen-limited conditions. This exopolysaccharide is of great industrial and biomedical interest owing to its ...

These mutations improve biocontainment, transformation stability, and overall performance in genetic engineering of plants. Complementing the strains, researchers also developed new plasmids and a ...
