Plant transformation in Arabidopsis is routine, using Agrobacterium tumefaciens to transfer DNA to the plant genome.
These compounds are typically found from wounded plants, and as a result VirA is used by Agrobacterium tumefaciens to locate potential host organisms for infection.
This method can be used on plants that are not susceptible to Agrobacterium infection and also allows transformation of plant plastids.
This plasmid is transformed into Agrobacterium containing no plasmids prior to infecting the plant cells.
