  A plant’s genome is the complete set of DNA, the full set of instructions that a plant needs to be a plant. A regular plant genome tells a plant how to grow, when to flower and generally how to be an effective plant! When agrobacterium puts its T-DNA into the plant genome it adds new information to the plant’s list of instructions. So now this modified genome tells the plant how to grow, when to flower AND how to do extra things that are contained within the T-DNA.
