The Molecular Biology of Cauliflower Mosaic Virus and Its Application as Plant Gene Vector

  • Chapter
Plant DNA Infectious Agents

Part of the book series: Plant Gene Research ((GENE))

Abstract

The artificial introduction of new traits into living cells by means of molecular gene transfer techniques has been developed into a routine procedure, applicable to both prokaryotic and various eukaryotic organisms. For higher plants, nature itself has evolved an elegant and sophisticated gene transfer system in the Ti-plasmid of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. It ist now widely used to introduce and stably anchor new genes in the genome of susceptible host plants. (See Chapter 7 by S. Rogers, this volume.)
