She discovered that it forms when a germ called Agrobacterium puts a piece of its own DNA into the plant cell's genes, the plant then makes food for the bacteria.

In 2015, scientists at the Center were examining sweet potato DNA sequences, when they stumbled upon some genes that were distinctly un-potato-like — genes from Agrobacterium!

2015 年，该中心科在检查甘薯 DNA 序列时，偶然发现了一些明显不像土豆基因——来自农杆基因！

Like, Agrobacterium — Agro for short — is a type of bacteria that can make GMOs.

比如，农杆——简称 Agro——是一种可以生产转基因生物。
