Virulence of Agrobacterium tumefaciens Strain A281 on Legumes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study addresses the basis of host range on legumes of Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain A281, an l,l-succinamopine strain. We tested virulence of T-DNA and vir region constructs from this tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid with complementary Ti plasmid regions from heterologous nopaline and octopine strains.

Genes responsible for the supervirulence phenotype of Agrobacterium tumefaciens A281.
Agrobacterium tumefaciens A281 induces large, rapidly appearing tumors on a variety of plants and has a wider host range than other strains of A. tumefaciens. By using Tn3HoHo1 transposon mutagenesis and complementation analysis, a 2.5-kilobase DNA fragment which is responsible for the supervirulence phenotype was identified in the virulence (vir) region of the Ti plasmid. This fragment contain...
متن کاملReexamining the role of the accessory plasmid pAtC58 in the virulence of Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain C58.
Isogenic strains of Agrobacterium tumefaciens carrying pTiC58, pAtC58, or both were constructed and assayed semiquantitatively and quantitatively for virulence and vir gene expression to study the effect of the large 542-kb accessory plasmid, pAtC58, on virulence. Earlier studies indicate that the att (attachment) genes of A. tumefaciens are crucial in the ability of this soil phytopathogen to ...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Agrobacterium tumefaciens Biovar 1 Strain 186, Isolated from Walnut
Agrobacterium tumefaciens biovar 1 strain 186 was isolated from a walnut tree expressing crown gall symptoms. The draft genome sequence of this strain harbored genes for crown gall formation and will be useful for understanding its virulence on Paradox, the predominant hybrid rootstock used for the cultivation of English walnut in California.
متن کاملThe Agrobacterium tumefaciens virD3 gene is not essential for tumorigenicity on plants.
Genetic studies indicate that three of the four polypeptides encoded within the virD operon of the Agrobacterium tumefaciens Ti plasmid are essential for virulence. In order to determine whether the fourth polypeptide, VirD3, has any role in virulence, complementation analysis was used. An A. tumefaciens strain, A348 delta D, which lacked the entire virD operon in the Ti plasmid pTiA6, was cons...
متن کاملInduction of Tumors in Anthurium andraeanum by Agrobactemium tumefaciens
A method was devised for infecting Anthurium andraeanum Linden ex André, an economically important ornamental monocot, with Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Tumors were obtained on plant stems 7 to 10 weeks after inoculation with oncogenic A. tumefaciens strains C58 and A281 cultured previously in an induction medium containing 200 μM acetosyringone at pH 5.5. A higher percentage of tumors were forme...
