Which of the following bacteria is used as a vector for plant genetic engineering ?A. Agrobacterium tumefaciensB. BacteriophagesC. Thermus aquaticusD. Pyrococcus furiosus

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Since, A tumefaciens is a natural plant genetic engineer known to induce tumours in plants by tranferring and integrating its DNA into the host genome. Therefore, by slightly manipulating, i.e., removing the tumour causing genes and replaing them with desired genes, it can be easily used as a plant vector.
