A survey of Agrobacterium strains associated with Georgia pecan trees and an immunological study of the bacterium

Creator:

Bouzar, Hacène

Abstract:

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...

Molecular factors that influence host range and virulence of A. tumefaciens

Creator:

Castle, Linda A.

Abstract:

Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a common soil bacterium that causes crown gall disease on many dicotyledonous plant species. It has been exploited for use in genetic engineering because it is able to promote transfer of any DNA segment to plant chromosomes. Many molecular factors in both the plant and bacterium contribute...
