There are many cases of natural transformation by Agrobacterium that gave beneficial phenotypes of agricultural crops.

It is reviewed by Desmet, S., Dhooghe, E., De Keyser, E. et al. Rhizogenic agrobacteria as an innovative tool for plant breeding: current achievements and limitations. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 104, 2435–2451 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1007/s00253-020-10403-7

Is there examples of successful use of such crops? We have got several plant lines of different species after natural infection - they have variable alternations of development: some have enhanced growth since early stage and faster flowering, others- grow bigger only at late stage of life.
