Locate some cell walls in the photos. Which photograph shows the
plant tissue before digestion with cellulase? Which photograph shows
protoplasts? How can you tell? What shape are the protoplasts? Why? |

Agrobacterium can transform plants by inserting its Ti plasmid
into the plant cells. The Ti plasmid contains T (tumor-inducing) DNA which
integrates into the genome of an infected plant. The T-DNA stimulates
local cellular growth (the crown gall) and simultaneously causes the production
of certain products used by the bacteria as a source of nutritional carbon
and nitrogen.
