Crown gall was found in numerous pecan orchards in Georgia. In some instances, 60% of the trees were diseased. Galled trees were less vigorous than noninfected trees. Among the pathogenic Agrobacterium strains isolated from 18 galled trees from six counties, biovar 1 strains predominated and most were sensitive to agrocin...

Serological identification of common and strain-specific antigens in Agrobacterium

Two new methods, one of broad specificity and the other of narrow specificity, were developed for the identification of agrobacteria. The former method was based on ribosomal antigens that were common to members of the closely related Agrobacterium and Rhizobium genera. Antisera to unwashed 50 S ribosomal subunits from five...
