Enviromental stress comes from biologic and abiotic factors. Temperature is an important factor than effects gene transfer process by Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Tobacco is generally used as a model plant in gene transfer studies. Tobacco variety Samsun was used in the study to find the effect of temperature and was found that 22 °C was the most effective temperature for the gene transfer studies.
