Understanding Agrobacterium-Mediated Plant Transformation

Agrobacterium-Mediated Plant Transformation Plant biotechnology has revolutionized agriculture by enabling genetically modified plants with traits like pest resistance, drought tolerance, and improved nutrition. Among gene transfer methods, Agrobacterium-mediated plant transformation is highly effective and widely used. This process uses the soil bacterium Rhizobium radiobacter (formerly Agrobacterium tumefaciens) to transfer T-DNA into plant genomes, allowing scientists […]

Understanding Plant Resistance Mechanisms

Plant Resistance Mechanisms Plants, like all living organisms, face constant threats from pathogens. However, they have evolved sophisticated defense mechanisms to protect themselves. The plant resistance mechanisms can be broadly categorized into passive (constitutive) and active (induced) resistance factors. In this blog post, we’ll explore these defense strategies in detail, shedding light on how plants
