What is the source of the Ti plasmid which is modified and used as a cloning vector to deliver the desirable genes into plant cells ? |
Thermus aquaticus. Agrobacterium tumefaciens . Aedes aegypti . Pyrococcus furiosus . |
Agrobacterium tumefaciens . |
The tumor inducing (Ti) plasmid of Agrobacterium tumefaciens has now been modified into a cloning vector which is no more pathogenic to the plants but is still able to use the mechanisms to deliver genes of our interest into a variety of plants . |
