Agrobacterium is a rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacteria found mostly in the soil. It is a plant pathogen that is responsible for causing crown gall disease in them. This bacteria is also known as the natural genetic engineer because of it's the ability to integrate its plasmid Gene into the plant genome.

A Ti-Plasmid (tumor-inducing plasmid) is a ds, circular DNA that often, but not always. It's a piece of genetic equipment that transfers genetic material from bacterial cells means Agrobacterium tumefaciens into plant cells used to induce tumors in the plant. The Ti-plasmid is damage when Agrobacterium is grown above 28 °C. Such cured bacteria don't induce crown gall disease in the plant due to they are avirulent. The Ti-Plasmid are classified into two types on the basis of opine genes are present in T-DNA.
The Plasmid has 196 genes that code for 195 proteins. There is no one structural RNA. The plasmid is 206.479 nucleotides long. the GC content is 56% and 81% of the genetic material is coding genes.
The modification of this plasmid is a very important source in the production of transgenic plants.
The T-DNA must be cut out of the circular plasmid. A VirD1/D2 complex nicks the DNA at the left and right border sequences. The VirD2 protein is covalently attached to the 5' end. VirD2 contains a motif that leads to the nucleoprotein complex being targeted to the type IV secretion system (T4SS).
In the cytoplasm of the recipient cell, the T-DNA complex becomes coated with VirE2 proteins, which are exported through the T4SS independently from the T-DNA complex. Nuclear localization signals, or NLS, located on the VirE2 and VirD2 are recognized by the importin alpha protein, which then associates with importin beta and the nuclear pore complex to transfer the T-DNA into the nucleus. So that the T-DNA can integrate into the host genome.
We inoculate Agrobacterium containing our genes of interest, onto wounded plant tissue explants. The Agrobacterium then transfers the gene of interest into the DNA of the plant tissue.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. • Gene tagging strategies are used to isolate those genes that
produce a detectable phenotype.
• Gene tagging broadly involve the insertion of a recognizable
DNA fragment with a gene.
• T-DNA is the part of ti-plasmid , DNA found in the soil
bacterium.
• Transposons are mobile genetic element that can move from
one place to another place in a DNA molecule.
• T-DNA and transposons can be used in gene tagging and gene

• Gene can be easily recognize by virtue of the inserted
fragment.
• The inserted fragment is usually a well characterized
transposable element, most of which has been sequenced.

Flow chart 1 - A generalized scheme for gene tagging
7. • Transposon tagging describes isolation of genes using
transposable elements as gene tags.
• This strategy is applicable to both plants as well as animals, but
we shall confine on discussion to their use in plants.
• A transposable element is a DNA sequence that has the ability to
change its location in the genome, i.e., it can transpose from one
location to another in the genome.
• Some transposable elements behave like retroviruses and, for
this region, they are called retrotransposons.

• When a transposon integrates within a gene, the gene function is lost.
• But when the transposon move out of the gene, the gene function may
be partially of fully restored.
• Thus when a Ds element integrates within a gene, the gene function
may be partially or fully restored.
• Thus when a Ds element integrates within the gene C1 on
chromosome 9 of maize, C1 function is suppressed and colourless
kernels are produced.
• Several maize inbred lines having colourless kernels are of this type.
• The Ds may also transpose in the germline; in such a case, the
functional C1 gene will be transmitted to the next generation.

10. • It is necessary to establish that the mutational event is due to transposon
insertion; in this respect, the instability of mutant phenotype may serve as a
useful marker.
• Species like maize and snapdragons carry several different transposon, and
each transposon, and may be parent in more than one copy per genome.
• A major limitation of the method is the low frequency of transposition.
• In addition, most species lack active transposons.

11. • Agrobacterium T-DNA integrates into
plant genome at random sites.
• Agrobacterium mediated transformation
can be used to produce a large number of
independent transformants.
• Insertion of T-DNA within a gene would
generates a mutant phenotype.
• The transformants are screened for mutant
phenotype, and the genomic DNAs of the
selected mutants can then be used for
isolation of the concerned gene by using
the T-DNA sequence either as a probe or
as primers.
