These plants were seen to be morphologically different from the wildtype plants. The transformations done on tobacco and rice were completed by co-cultivation. Co-cultivation means that both Agrobacterium tumefaciens and the plant embryos were cultivated in the same medium, or environment, and the explants were developed. (Liu et al.,…
