Patent-pending novel Agrobacterium strains deliver transfer DNA to a plant’s nucleus without integrating it into the genome WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Academic researchers and companies in the ...

Although the plant genome may be altered, no transgenic plant is created. “T-DNA delivered by Purdue-created Agrobacterium strains disappears from the plant nucleus because it is eventually destroyed ...

Agrobacterium tumefaciens and A. rhizogenes are vital tools in plant biotechnology due to their natural ability to transfer DNA into plant genomes. Historically, plant scientists have relied on a ...

Hence, the first transgenic plants using the Agrobacterium transformation process were created. Dr.

• Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a niche-constructing biotroph that exploits host plant metabolites. • We combined metabolomics, transposon-sequencing (Tn-seq), transcriptomics, and reverse genetics to ...

An improved protocol for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of an elite, mature black cherry genotype was developed. To increase transformation efficiency, vacuum infiltration, sonication, and a ...
