Organization of Ti Plasmid | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the organization of Ti Plasmid. Agrobacterium tumeifaciens harbours a large circular DNA known as Ti plasmid, which exists as an independent extra chromosomal entity of 200 kb size. The most spectacular regions of Ti plasmid are the presence of T (transfer) DNA and vir regions. Other components are origin of replication and regions [...]

Role of Ti Plasmid in Genetic Engineering of Plants

In this article we will discuss about the role of Ti plasmids in genetic engineering of plants. Genetic engineering of plants is carried out by introducing DNA into a cell in culture that can grow into a mature plant. An efficient vector for introduction of recombinant DNA into plant cells has been developed from plant viruses. Furthermore, the Ti plasmid [...]
