Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The vir genes on a Ti plasmid are responsible for T-DNA transfer from the bacterium to the host plant. This transfer of genetic information allows for the integration of the plasmid DNA into the plant genome, leading to the expression of desired traits such as herbicide resistance or increased yield.
