Agrobacterium tumefaciens and related Agrobacterium species have been known as plant
pathogens since the beginning of the 20th century. However, only in the past two decades …

In the era of functional genomics, the need for tools to perform large-scale targeted and
random mutagenesis is increasing. A potential tool is Agrobacterium-mediated fungal …

▪ Abstract The phytopathogenic bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens genetically transforms
plants by transferring a portion of the resident Ti-plasmid, the T-DNA, to the plant …

This review is dedicated to Jeff Schell, one of the founders of modernAgrobiology', the
genetic and molecular dissection of crown gall disease. Together with notable scientists at …

The nine decades since Smith and Townsend demonstrated that Agrobacterium
tumefaciens causes plant tumors (95) have been marked by a series of surprises. Among …

Agrobacterium tumefaciens causes tumour formation in plants. Plant signals induce in the
bacteria the expression of a range of virulence (Vir) proteins and the formation of a type IV …

Agrobacterium was identified as the agent causing the plant tumor, crown gall over 100
years ago. Since then, studies have resulted in many surprising observations. Armin Braun …

Agrobacterium rhizogenes is the etiological agent for hairy-root disease (also known as root-
mat disease). This bacterium induces the neoplastic growth of plant cells that differentiate to …

Bacterial conjugation is an important source of genetic plasticity. The initiation complex for
conjugative transfer of transmissible plasmids—the relaxosome—is a specific DNA-protein …
