Reporter Genes and Plant Transformation Plant transformation is a fundamental aspect of modern agricultural biotechnology, allowing scientists to incorporate new traits into plants, such as enhanced yields, pest resistance, and tolerance to environmental stress. A crucial component of this process is the use of reporter genes, which enable researchers to confirm and visualize successful genetic […]
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
