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.

她发现称为根癌农杆菌的细菌将其自身DNA注入植物细胞基因后，这植物能为细菌提供养分。

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，该中心的科学家们在检查甘薯的 DNA ，偶然发现了些明显不像土豆的基因——来自农杆菌的基因！

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

比如，农杆菌——简称 Agro——是可以生产转基因生物的细菌。
