Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Ti (tumor-inducing) plasmid of Agrobacterium tumefaciens is widely used as a vector for the introduction of foreign genes into plants, particularly for genetic engineering of crops. The Ti plasmid naturally transfers DNA into plant cells, and this process has been engineered to deliver genes of interest into the plant genome.
