Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer technique is one of the most effective plants transformation methods. This technique has become very significant for both scientific as well as commercial purposes. The plant transformation is basically done to incorporate our gene of interest in the plant, which will generate a new set of plants with desired traits. Agrobacterium has … [Read more...] about Agrobacterium Mediated Gene Transfer
