Agrobacterium is also nature's genetic engineer. All virulent strains of Agrobacterium harbor a large extra-chromosomal segment of DNA called the Ti- (tumor inducing-) plasmid. During the course of ...

Alternatives to Agrobacterium may circumvent patents on ... on a family of giant extrachromosomal circular plasmids called Ti (Tumor-inducing) plasmids. Virulence genes deliver a specific part ...

Agrobacterium tumefaciens commonly carries a large plasmid, known as the Ti plasmid, which has the unusual ability to insert a piece of its DNA, the transfer DNA (T-DNA), into a plant's genome 1.

Initially, the agrobacterium cell contains a bacterial chromosome and a Tumor-inducing plasmid (Ti plasmid). The Ti plasmid is removed from the agrobacterium cell, and a restriction enzyme cleaves the ...
