Any of various aerobic, chiefly phytopathogenic bacteria of the genus Agrobacterium, especially A. tumefaciens, the cause of crown gall in plants. A. tumefaciens is used to construct transgenic plants because it transfers genetic material to plant cells when it infects them.

However, it is not trivial to establish a wheat genetic transformation protocol, notably using Agrobacterium tumefaciens; because, in addition to the multitude of factors affecting this technique (ZIEMIENOWICZ, 2014), the response window is considered narrower compared to other cereals (HIEI et al., 2014).
