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.

一种被称为根癌农杆菌的细菌将其自身DNA注入植物细胞基因后，这种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 序列时，了一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——是一种可以生产转基因生物的细菌。
