Creation of transgenic plants involves various methods such as microprojectile DNA-coating, electroporation, and Agrobacterium transformation. Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a soil bacterium, plays a crucial role in inducing crown gall disease in plants by transferring T-DNA from the Ti plasmid. The Ti

Crown gall is a plant tumor induced by the soil bacterium A. tumefaciens, resulting in oncogenic transformation. Opine metabolism plays a central role in the disease, with Ti-plasmids carrying T-DNA responsible for unregulated growth and opine synthesis. Border sequences on the Ti-plasmid are crucia

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are created through genetic engineering techniques like biolistics and Agrobacterium tumefaciens. These modifications are made to confer herbicide resistance, pathogen resistance, control fruit ripening/rotting, and increase production. The documentary explores
