Purdue Biologist Stanton B. Gelvin explained how Agrobacterium moves DNA into wounded plant cells, and why cracking that “black box” matters for agriculture during a seminar Wednesday afternoon at the ...

Transformation techniques currently in use still present significant obstacles for the manipulation of rice because the tissue culture response is genotype-dependent. In fact, the ...

A combined public and private team of microbiologists has completed sequencing the genome of the plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens. This bacterium has become an essential tool for plant ...

Agrobacterium tumefaciens magnified 15,000 times in an image captured earlier this year with a scanning electron microscope at Iowa State University's Roy J. Carver High Resolution Microscopy Facility ...

Using the system for genetic transformation and transgenic plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis (SE) of Lycium barbarum established in this laboratory, this study reports the optimization of ...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.), the staple that feeds over half of the globe, has undergone significant transformation and regeneration advancements over the last two decades. Although Agrobacterium-mediated ...

Sweet potatoes from all over the world naturally contain genes from the bacterium Agrobacterium, researchers report. Sweet potato is one of the most important food crops for human consumption in the ...

Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a plant pathogen responsible for crown gall disease. I know what you’re thinking, plant pathogen? Boring. Not so! In fact, A. tumefaciens is an incredibly clever and ...

Curdlan, a water‐insoluble β‐(1,3)-glucan, is synthesised by Agrobacterium species under nitrogen-limited conditions. This exopolysaccharide is of great industrial and biomedical interest owing to its ...
