Abstract – Consequences of agrobacterial transformation have
resemblance with plant stress response. So agrobacterial transformation
is being considered as a complex multilevel biotic stress factor
including reactions on the wounding, contact with pathogen, culturing
in vitro and T-DNA insertion. Methodical approaches need developing to
distinguish the effects of the transgenesis and associated stresses.
