Proteomics of a plant pathogen: Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
Agrobacterium tumefaciens is an important plant pathogen which belongs to the α-proteobacteria. In addition, it has served as the main tool for plant molecular genetics. Here we focus on three major aspects: (i) proteomic mapping, (ii) the use of proteomics for the understanding of the response of A. tumefaciens to changes in environmental conditions and (iii) the analysis of the changes in gen...
متن کاملRhizobium meliloti genes required for nodule development are related to chromosomal virulence genes in Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
Symbiotically essential genes have been identified in Rhizobium meliloti that are structurally and functionally related to chromosomal virulence (chv) genes of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Homologous sequences also exist in the genomes of other fast-growing rhizobia including Rhizobium trifolii, Rhizobium leguminosarum, and Rhizobium phaseoli. In Agrobacterium, the chvA and chvB loci are known to...
متن کاملImproving plant transformation using Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
Here, we report a quick and low-cost method to improve plant transformation using Agrobacterium tumefaciens. This method involves the use of physical wounding, ultrasound, and an increase in exposure time to the bacteria. We show how the transformation rate increased from 0 to 14% when an ultrasound pulse of 10 s was used in conjunction with 96 h of bacterial exposure in Eclipta alba explants.
متن کاملAgrobacterium tumefaciens- mediated Transformation of Plant Cells
Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a Gram-negative soil bacterium that causes plant tumours by transferring a portion of DNA from a resident ‘tumour inducing’ (Ti) plasmid into plant cells where it is integrated into a plant chromosome and expressed. This bacteria’s capacity for DNA transfer is the basis of most current plant genetic engineering and make it a model system for the study of pathogenic ...
متن کاملThe chromosomal response regulatory gene chvI of Agrobacterium tumefaciens complements an Escherichia coli phoB mutation and is required for virulence.
In an effort to identify the Agrobacterium tumefaciens phosphate regulatory gene(s), we isolated a clone from an A. tumefaciens cosmid library that restored regulated alkaline phosphatase activity to an Escherichia coli phoB mutant. The gene that complemented phoB was localized by subcloning and deletion analysis, and the DNA sequence was determined. An open reading frame, denoted chvI, was ide...
