Overview

Agrobacterium is a genus of soil-dwelling, gram-negative bacteria that is used in plant biotechnology for its ability to transfer genetic material into plant and animal cells. It is capable of incorporate its own DNA into the host organism, and is used to introduce new traits and characteristics, such as pest and disease resistance, improved yield, or modified nutritional content. Agrobacterium is used extensively in research and agriculture, and is instrumental in creating evidence-based solutions for the crop production and food security problems of developing countries. It is one of the most important tools for modern plant biotechnology and has the potential to revolutionize agriculture throughout the world.
