The “Ti plasmid” of Agrobacterium tumefaciens stands for
Updated On: Mar 27, 2025
- Tumour inhibiting plasm
- Tumor independent plasmid
- Tumor inducing plasmid
- Temperature independent plasmid
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The Ti plasmid in Agrobacterium tumefaciens is responsible for inducing tumor formation in plants. It carries genes that integrate into the plant genome, causing uncontrolled growth and the formation of tumors known as crown galls.
Thus, the correct answer is (3) Tumor inducing plasmid.
