Detailed explanation-1: -The Ti plasmid vector. In plant genetic engineering, the Ti plasmid can be used to carry foreign genes into plant cells. The Ti plasmid is the disease-causing agent of the soil-borne bacteria Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
Detailed explanation-2: -A vector, as related to molecular biology, is a DNA molecule (often plasmid or virus) that is used as a vehicle to carry a particular DNA segment into a host cell as part of a cloning or recombinant DNA technique.
Detailed explanation-3: -Genetic material can be transferred via a vector that is defined as the vehicle that is used to deliver the gene of interest. The ideal vector would transfer a precise amount of genetic material into each target cell, thereby allowing for expression of the gene product without causing toxicity.
Detailed explanation-4: -Plasmids can be used as tools to transfer, clone and manipulate genes. Those plasmids that are used experimentally for such purposes are called vectors. Into plasmid vectors, DNA fragments or genes can be inserted to create a “recombinant plasmid”.
