Solution
A Ti plasmid, or tumour-inducing plasmid. This plasmid contains a segment called T-DNA which, when transferred into the genome of a plant, causes the formation of tumor-like growths (galls). The Ti plasmid enables the bacterium to genetically transform plant cells for its benefit, making it a natural vector for gene transfer in plants.
