Abstract
Although not a plant, the bacterium Agrobacterium has transformed modern plant biology. As one of the most widely used ‘systems’ for introducing foreign genes into plant cells it has fuelled much of the present research capability of plant genetic engineering. Now, as a result of a multinational collaborative project, the genome of A. tumefaciens is freely-available on the Internet at the University of Washington's (USA) Crown Gall Group's website (http://www.agrobacterium.org).
