The 1977 discovery that Agrobacterium inserts a specific bit of DNA into the plant genome triggered a race for the first #PlantGMO. It ended in 1983 with four labs publishing their GMO plant cell lines. Who won the race? Here’s…

Genomic consequences associated with Agrobacterium‐mediated transformation of plants Agrobacterium-mediated transformation (AMT) of plants is used extensively as a tool to create new genetic variants for research purposes or agricultural needs. In this work, we summarize the molecula....
