What are the Advantages of agrobacterium in plant transformation?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
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)

Is Agrobacterium tumifacians a fungi?
It is a bacteria
How does rifampicin act in the selection of agrobacterium?
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
Compare the transformation of a bacterium cell with the transformation of a plant cell?
In bacteria, if the plasmid containing the foreign DNA manages to get inside a bacterial cell, this sequence ensures that it will be replicated. In Plant Cells, if transformation is successful the recombinant DNA is integrated into one of the chromosomes of the cell.
What are the advantages of school plant planning?
factors of school plant location planing
What method of plant transformation is used to introduce a gene in to chloroplast genome?
particle delivery system
Does transformation by Agrobacterium work best in monocotyledon plants?
no
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
Agrobacterium?
produce plant tumors to gain nutrient -> These tumors are often fatal to plant
The Ti plasmid from which plant pathogen is used to transfer plant genes between species?
Agrobacterium tumefaciens
What is an agroinfiltration?
An agroinfiltration is the introduction of a suspension of agrobacterium into a plant to add a specific gene.
Why gene gun use in rice transformation?
It's a tool to insert foregin gene into target cells and can be used for any suitable crop or cells for transformation purpose. Now a days, agrobacterium mediated transformation techniques are becoming popular.
What is an agrobacterium?
An agrobacterium is a soil bacterium which causes the formation of crown galls in plants.
What energy transformation examples?
Energy transformation from a nuclear power plant
Why colony of agrobacterium is pink on yeast extract agar media?
why colony of agrobacterium is pink on yeast extract
What is the functions of acetosyringone?
Acetosyringone is a plant phenolic compound that serves as a signaling molecule in the process of plant-microbe interactions. It is involved in the induction of the virulence genes in Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a bacterium that causes crown gall disease in plants. Acetosyringone helps to activate the transfer of DNA from the bacterium to the plant cells, leading to the formation of tumors.
Species of economically important bacteria?
The genera Rhizobium, Bradyrhizobium and Agrobacterium are economically important soil bacteria; Rhizobium and Bradyrhizobium fix nitrogen in symbiosis with the family Leguminosae, and Agrobacterium,besides causing plant diseases, is used as a vector system for introduction of foreign DNA into dicotyledonous plants
Which is the organism that is known as geneticengineer?
agrobacterium
