Transgenic Plants

Transgenic Plants

Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...

Summary

Agrobacterium tumefaciens causes plant diseases like crown gall by transferring Ti plasmid DNA. Standard protocols are provided for characterizing this important plant pathogen and genetic engineering tool.

Area of Science:

Microbiology
Plant Pathology
Molecular Biology

Background:

Agrobacterium species are plant-associated bacteria, with some causing diseases like crown gall.
Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a well-studied species responsible for crown gall disease.
Virulence in A. tumefaciens is mediated by the Ti (tumor-inducing) plasmid, which transfers DNA to plants.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe standard protocols for the phenotypic characterization of Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
To provide methods for studying this model microorganism used in genetic engineering and host-microbe interactions.

Main Methods:

Standard microbiological and phenotypic assays.
Protocols for characterizing bacterial traits relevant to virulence and host interaction.
