Purdue Biologist Stanton B. Gelvin explained how Agrobacterium moves DNA into wounded plant cells, and why cracking that ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Sweet potatoes from all over the world naturally contain genes from the bacterium Agrobacterium. Researchers from UGent and the International Potato Institute (CIP) publish this discovery today on the ...

Depending on the setting, the ability of a crucial bacterium in biotechnology—Agrobacterium tumefaciens—to transfer its DNA to a host plant can make it either a pathogen that damages crops or a ...
