Abstract

Horizontal gene transfer is transfer of genetic material between organisms, which could not be termed as progenitor and ancestor. There is some data, that some plants contain in their genomes sequences, homologous to T-dNa from agrobacteria. Some rol genes from agrobacterium rhizogenes are present in number of species from genus Nicotiana as a result of horizontal gene transfer in plant evolution. This review is devoted to this scientific problem.
