Vedclass · Answer

(C) $Agrobacterium$ $	ext{tumefaciens}$, a pathogen of several dicot plants, is able to deliver a piece of $DNA$ known as '$T-DNA$' to transform normal plant cells into a tumor and direct these tumor cells to produce the chemicals required by the pathogen. This natural ability of $Agrobacterium$ to transfer genes is exploited in genetic engineering to introduce specific genes of interest into host plants.
