Agrobacterium rhizogenes

... genetically modified organisms (GMOs), as most of them were against that type of research, even though these originated from an adaptation of a natural process in which a soil bacterium called Agrobacterium rhizogenes would infect a wild plant through the transmission and incorporation of foreign DNA ...

VietNamNet Bridge - The scientists from the HCM Biotechnology Center have succeeded in using Agrobacterium rhizogenes bacteria to create hairy roots ... The scientists infected the wounds in petiole and leaves of ginseng cultivated in the laboratory with agrobacterium rhizogenes, a Gram-negative soil ...

Plant tissue culture is a technique done on an artificial nutrient culture medium of known composition to grow plants, seeds and various parts of the plants (organs, embryos, tissues, single cells and protoplasts). It is done under sterile conditions. When many clones of a plant are produced in this way it is ...

They found two large regions of Agrobacterium rhizogenes DNA: this bacteria is from the Agrobacterium family and it creates galls in plant roots. The two regions of Agrobacterium DNA that they identified in the sweet potato genome contained the code for potentially 9 different proteins. Again, these findings ...

The authors write in their abstract, “Agrobacterium rhizogenes and Agrobacterium tumefaciens are plant pathogenic bacteria capable of transferring DNA fragments bearing functional genes into the host plant genome. This naturally occurring mechanism has been adapted by plant biotechnologists to ...

(Phys.org)—A team of researchers with members from Belgium, China, Peru and the U.S. has found evidence of bacterial DNA in the genome of the cultivated sweet potato. In their paper published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the team describes their findings as an example of a ...
