Using agrobacterium is the most common way of genetically modifying plants.
Inside the bacterium there is a circular piece of DNA called a plasmid, which also has a chromosome. This TI plasmid is tumor inducing but it transfers the plasmid DNA by infecting the plants DNA (it cuts the chromosome of the plant and inserts the plasmid). The bacterium live inside the tumor of the plant.
Scientists tooks the T dna, removed the tumor causing genes, and left the DNA splicing genes. They then use the bacterium to transfer the DNA they want.
why colony of agrobacterium is pink on yeast extract
transfer of gene with the help of Ti plasmid present in Agrobacterium which has T-dna region by which gene van transfer.
Agrobacterium tumefaciens
agrobacterium tumefaciens
that is a gene which encodes for the rec protein A in agrobacterium
no
An agrobacterium is a soil bacterium which causes the formation of crown galls in plants.

agrobacterium
It is a bacteria
Agrobacterium
transfer of gene with the help of Ti plasmid present in Agrobacterium which has T-dna region by which gene van transfer.

Rifampicin resistance is encoded by a gene residing on the chromosome of Agrobacterium, so its purpose is to prevent contamination by other bacteria when it is grown in culture
