Question:

Agrobacterium transfers the T-DNA into plant cells which contains genes for

Show Hint

T-DNA genes:
- Hormones (auxin, cytokinin) and Opines.
- Virulence genes are on the Ti plasmid (not in T-DNA).
- Vir genes help in T-DNA transfer.
  • Virulence and hormones
  • Virulence and CDK
  • Opines and Virulence
  • Hormones and Opines

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Question:
This question tests knowledge of Agrobacterium tumefaciens and T-DNA.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:

The T-DNA transferred by Agrobacterium contains genes for:
- Hormones: Auxin and cytokinin (cause tumor growth).
- Opines: Opine synthesis genes (provide nutrients for bacteria).
Virulence genes are on the Ti plasmid but NOT transferred as part of T-DNA.
Thus, T-DNA contains genes for hormones and opines.
Option (D) is correct.

Step 3: Final Answer:

Thus, T-DNA contains genes for hormones and opines, which corresponds to option (D).
