Which organism naturally possesses the Ti plasmid?
agrobacterium tumefaciens
Analogy for plasmid?
F-plasmid (fertility plasmid) of any conjugative bateria or Ti-plasmid (tumor-inducing) of Agrobacterium tumaefaciens.
What is agrobacterium mediated gene transfer?
transfer of gene with the help of Ti plasmid present in Agrobacterium which has T-dna region by which gene van transfer.
The Ti plasmid from which plant pathogen is used to transfer plant genes between species?
Agrobacterium tumefaciens
What will happen to Agrobacterium when it losses it Ti plasmid?
Ti plasmid functions to induce turmor or a desease known as "crown gall" to the most dicot (rarely monocot) plants. Transfer DNA or T-DNA will be released during the infection process into the plant cell and integrate with the DNA host. Hence, the plant host is already infected. That's the important function of the Ti plasmid, if there are no such plasmid exist, then the agrobacterium lost its pathogenic function.

How does agrobacterium work?
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.
How can genetic engineering be used to make a transgenic tobacco plant that glows in the dark?
Agrobacterium-mediated transformation using a plasmid containing a gene for GFP
A plasmid that contains a gene for human growth hormone is and example of what?
recombinant dna
What are the Advantages of agrobacterium in plant transformation?
1)Allow transfer of genes from bacterium to plant by the use of plasmid, known as Ti plasmid. 2) Allow to be used as a tool for plant breeding e.g. any desired gene, such as insecticidal toxin genes or herbicide resistant genes, can be engineered into the bacterial DNA then transferred into plant genome 3) Agrobacterium shortens the conventional plant breeding process 4) Allows entirely new (non-plant) genes to be engineered into crops 5) Is a highly effective biological control system for disease (e.g. crown gall disease). 6)Used for plant improvement (2 above)
When is a plasmid considered a recombinant plasmid?
When the original function of the gene in the plasmid is altered or another gene is inserted in the non- coding region of the plasmid is called the recombinant plasmid.
What is the function of the Ti plasmid?
what is the function of the plasmid
