The researchers focused on Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a common plant pathogen that uses two sensors to detect reactive oxygen species—toxic molecules plants release to damage the DNA ...

The diagram illustrates the process of genetic modification using Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Initially, the agrobacterium cell contains a bacterial chromosome and a Tumor-inducing plasmid (Ti plasmid) ...

It is a common infection, especially amongst people aged 15 to 24. Agrobacterium tumefaciens transfers some of its own DNA to the infected plant cell's DNA. This means that scientists can test the ...
