چکیده
Cellulose-minus mutants of Agrobacterium tumefaciens retain virulence but can be removed from wound sites by washing with water. Washing of Bryophyllum diagremontiana leaves inoculated with a cellulose-minus mutant was used to determine the minimum time the bacteria must be present for tumor induction. This time was 4 to 8 h.

Effect of gibberellic Acid on crown gall tumor induction in aging primary pinto bean leaves.
Gibberellic acid was tested for its effect on tumor induction by Agrobacterium tumefaciens in primary pinto bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) leaves in various stages of development. The hormone was found to promote tumor induction in partially aged leaves but did not effect tumor induction in very young leaves or in fully matured leaves. It is suggested that the natural loss of susceptibility to tumor...
متن کاملTemperature affects the T-DNA transfer machinery of Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
Early studies on Agrobacterium tumefaciens showed that development of tumors on plants following infection by A. tumefaciens was optimal at temperatures around 22 degrees C and did not occur at temperatures above 29 degrees C. To assess whether this inability to induce tumors is due to a defect in the T-DNA transfer machinery, mobilization of an incompatibility group Q (IncQ) plasmid by the T-D...
متن کاملMechanisms of tumor induction in crown gall. I. Production and pathogenicity of spheroplasts of Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
The hypothesis that crown gall tumorigenesis requires the formation of spheroplasts was tested by comparing the tumorinducing ability of populations of both permanent and revertable spheroplasts of Agrobacterium tumefaciens with that of popula tions of the typical rod form of the bacterium. Permanent spheroplasts produced by serial transfers in medium containing 0.005 MD-methionine did not prod...
متن کاملResponse of various cucurbits to infection by plasmid-harboring strains of agrobacterium.
Tumor formation in cucurbit cultivars resulting from infection by various strains of Agrobacterium tumefaciens and Agrobacterium rhizogenes is environmentally affected. In all instances, tumors could be induced on excised cotyledons while inoculating attached cotyledons or stems resulted in no tumor formation. In addition, buttercup squash (Cucurbita maxima Duch. buttercup) was most susceptible...
متن کامل[IV. Rifampicin and a resistant clone of Agrobacterium tumefaciens in tumor induction].
From Agrobacterium tumefaciens, strain B6, a clone B6Ri could be isolated which grows well in presence of 150 ,ug/ml rifampicin. Moreover B6Ri does not alter the rifampicin in the medium (quantity, spectrum in visible light, ability to inhibit the growth of B6). B6Ri is able to induce crown-galls on leaves of Kalanchoe in the presence of 100 /^g/ml rifampicin. Therefore the rifampicin-mediated ...
