This document summarizes Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer. It begins with an introduction to gene transformation and describes Agrobacterium as a soil bacterium that causes crown gall disease in plants by transferring genes. It then discusses the classification of Agrobacterium, the history of using Agrobacterium for gene transfer, and components involved like the T-DNA, virulence genes, and chromosomal genes. The document outlines the process of T-DNA transfer from Agrobacterium to plant cells and concludes with some common methods for Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer.
