Agroinfiltration is a method in plant biology to induce transient expression of genes in a plant or to produce a desired protein. In the method a suspension of Agrobacterium tumefaciens is injected into a plant leaf, where it transfers the desired gene to plant cells. The benefit of agroinfiltration when compared to traditional plant transformation is speed and convenience.
