Which organism naturally possesses the Ti plasmid?
The Ti plasmid is naturally found in the bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens. This bacterium is known for its ability to transfer genetic material into plant cells, causing the formation of galls or tumors.
What bacteria causes crown gall disease?
The bacteria that causes crown gall disease is Agrobacterium tumefaciens. This bacterium infects plants through wounds in the roots or stems, leading to the formation of galls or tumor-like growths.
The Ti plasmid from which plant pathogen is used to transfer plant genes between species?
The Ti plasmid is derived from Agrobacterium tumefaciens, which is a plant pathogen. This plasmid is commonly used as a vector to transfer foreign genes into plant cells in genetic engineering applications.
WHY Agrobacterium tumefaciens affect only dicots not monocots?
A.Tumefaciens affect only dicots because the injured (infected) cells of dicots secrete a phenolic chemical known as Acetosyringone. This chemical is not secreted by the monocot cells or is secreted in a very low quantity which causes low efficiency of the disease (Crown Gall Disease)
What are the two ways scientists transform plant cells without using plasmids?
Scientists can transform plant cells by using Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a bacterium that naturally transfers its DNA into plant cells, or by using gene guns to deliver DNA-coated particles into plant cells using a high-pressure gun.

Is Agrobacterium tumifacians a fungi?
No, Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a bacterium, not a fungus. It is a soil-dwelling bacterium that is known for its ability to transfer DNA between itself and plants, causing the formation of plant tumors.

Who discover the Ti plasmid?
The Ti plasmid was discovered by Mary-Dell Chilton in the 1970s while she was studying Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a bacterium that causes plant tumors. This discovery led to the development of techniques for genetic engineering in plants.
What is an agrobacterium?
An agrobacterium is a soil bacterium which causes the formation of crown galls in plants.

What method is preferred to generate transgenic plants?
Since transgenic plants contains foreign gene of desired function of other organisms.So the technique of rDna technology is used.Then the rDNA is cultured in the lab then after the formation of small plant it is grown in the outside entertainment.in this way a transgenic plant is produced.
Why colony of agrobacterium is pink on yeast extract agar media?
The pink color of Agrobacterium colonies on yeast extract agar media is due to the production of a pigment called violacein. The presence of violacein is a characteristic feature of Agrobacterium species and contributes to the pink color of the colonies. This pigment production can help to differentiate Agrobacterium from other bacteria on culture plates.
