Ti PLASMIDS AS VECTORS FOR PLANT CELLS
Ti plasmids, also known as tumor-inducing plasmids, are a group of circular DNA molecules found in Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a soil bacterium. These plasmids have been extensively studied and utilized as vectors for introducing foreign DNA into plant cells. The ability…
AN OVERVIEW OF BACTERIAL TRANSFORMATION BY PLASMIDS
Bacterial transformation is a process in which bacteria take up foreign genetic material, such as plasmids, from the surrounding environment. This natural process has been widely utilized in genetic engineering and biotechnology to introduce new genes into bacterial cells. Plasmids…
