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...

Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.

Area of Science:

Plant Biotechnology
Microbial Genetics

Background:

Plant genetic modification and regeneration are hindered by limitations in current Agrobacterium-mediated transformation (AMT) methods.
Existing AMT strains and techniques have seen little innovation since the 1990s, creating a bottleneck for research and biotechnology.

Purpose of the Study:

To review novel Agrobacterium germplasm, genomic resources, and emerging modification techniques.
To highlight opportunities for developing improved Agrobacterium strains for plant transformation and regeneration.

Main Methods:

Exploration of public repositories for wild Agrobacterium strains with unique T-DNA features.
Review of new genetic engineering tools such as base editing, CRISPR-associated transposases, and recombineering for strain domestication.

Main Results:

Hundreds of wild Agrobacterium strains with potentially novel gene variants and T-DNA arrangements are available.
Advanced genetic tools enable more precise and efficient modification of Agrobacterium strains.

Conclusions:

The integration of novel germplasm and advanced methods promises a resurgence in Agrobacterium research.
Development of new domesticated Agrobacterium strains will enhance plant transformation and regeneration across diverse species.
