Susceptibility of Juglans Species and Interspecific Hybrids to Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Budding Compatibility of Almond and Plum on Some Wild Species and Interspecific Hybrids of Almond

Susceptibility of Agrobacterium tumefaciens Strains to Two Agrocin-Producing Agrobacterium Strains.

Sixty-five strains and isolates of Agrobacterium tumefaciens representing each of the known biotypes, were tested for in vitro and in vivo susceptibility to the agrocin-producing strains Agrobacterium radiobacter 84 and A. tumefaciens D286. No biotype 3 strain was susceptible to the effects of either of the agrocinogenic strains in vitro. On datura and tobacco, the best inhibition of tumor form...

Physiological Responses of Some Rootstocks and Interspecific Hybrids of Pistachio to Cold Stress under Greenhouse Conditions

Cold is an environmental factor limiting the growth and yield of agricultural crops. To find cold-tolerant pistachio rootstocks, a factorial experiment was conducted at Pistachio Research Center (PRC), Rafsanjan, Iran during 2017-2018. The factors included six rootstocks (Badami Zarand, Ghazvini, Sarakhs, Integerrima × Badami Zarand, Integerrima × Ghazvini and Integerrima × Sarakhs) and four th...

Interspecific Hybrids

The regulation of gene expression is essential for organismal form, function, and fitness. Complex organismal development from zygote to adult requires finely tuned expression of genes in space, time, and abundance. Proper expression of genes is also required for most other aspects of physiology and function. Even minor changes in gene expression have the potential to significantly impact pheno...

The Oncogenes of Agrobacterium Tumefaciens and Agrobacterium Rhizogenes

The common soil bacteria Agrobacterium tumefaciens and Agrobacterium rhizogenes are unique genetic pathogens capable of fundamentally redirecting plant metabolism in order to generate macroscopic tissue masses (crown galls and hairy roots, respectively) which support the growth of large populations of Agrobacteria. Central to pathogenesis is the horizontal transfer of a suite of oncogenes from ...
