  "summary": "Agrobacterium-mediated transformation (AMT) is widely used in plant biotechnology, yet the processes governing T-DNA delivery and integration remain poorly understood and difficult to control, which limits the precision and efficiency of genetic engineering. Here, we developed T-SWITCH (T-DNA Sensing With InTegrase CHassis), a genome-integrated, synthetic genetic switch that reports T-DNA…",
