Everything about Transfer DNA
Type of DNA in bacterial genomes
The transfer DNA is the transferred DNA of the tumor-inducing (Ti)/root-inducing (Ri) plasmid of plant-pathogenic bacteria such as Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Rhizobium rhizogenes, and Allorhizobium vitis. The T-DNA is transferred from bacterium into the host plant's nuclear DNA genome. The capability of this specialized tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid is attributed to two essential regions required for DNA transfer to the host cell. The T-DNA is bordered by 25-base-pair repeats on each end. Transfer is initiated at the right border and terminated at the left border. Transfer requires the vir genes of the Ti plasmid, which are not transferred to the plant. Wikipedia →
