The most spectacular regions of Ti plasmid are the presence of T (transfer) DNA and vir regions. T-DNA carries genes responsible for conferring unlimited growth and ability to synthesise opines upon the transformed plant tissue. The genes responsible for T-DNA transfer are located in a separate part of the Ti plasmid called vir (virulence) segment. #recombinantdnatechnology #biotechnology #biology #bscbotany #plasmid #1stsemesterexam #6thsemester #biotechnologyanditsapplications #neet Virulence genes are unique regions and important components of both Ti and Ri plasmids. This region consists of at least ten organized operons of 35 kb. Most of these vir operons are involved in T-DNA transfer, but their physical attachment with T-DNA is not required essentially. At least twenty one vir genes are involved in virulence functions and organized into ten operons such as vir A, vir G, vir B, vir C, vir D1, D2, D4, vir E2, Vir F1, vir H and vir J/ACVB. Thus, Ti plasmid serves as a natural vector in genetic engineering of plant cells because it can transfer its T-DNA from the bacterium to the plant genome. The wild type Ti plasmids, however, are not suitable as vectors because of the presence of oncogenes in T-DNA which result in dis-organised growth in recipient plant cells.
