Floral dip: a simplified method for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of Arabidopsis thaliana.

The Plant Journal, 1998
The Agrobacterium vacuum infiltration method has made it possible to transform Arabidopsis thaliana without plant tissue culture or regeneration. In the present study, this method was evaluated and a substantially modified transformation method was ...

Transfection and transformation of Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Molecular and General Genetics MGG, 1978
The freeze thaw transfection procedure of Dityatkin et al. (1972) was adapted for the transfection and transformation of A. tumefaciens. Transfection of the strains B6S3 and B6-6 with DNA of the temperate phage PS8cc186 yielded a maximum frequency of 2 10(-7) transfectants per total recipient population.

Agrobacterium tumefaciens as an agent of disease

Trends in Plant Science, 2003
Twenty-six years ago it was found that the common soil bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens is capable of extraordinary feats of interkingdom genetic transfer. Since this discovery, A. tumefaciens has served as a model system for the study of type IV bacterial secretory systems, horizontal gene transfer and bacterial-plant signal exchange.

Proteomics and Genetics for Identification of a Bacterial Antimonite Oxidase in Agrobacterium tumefaciens.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2015
Antimony (Sb) and its compounds are listed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA, 1979) and the European Union (CEC, 1976) as a priority pollutant.

The multifaceted roles of the interspecies signalling molecule indole in Agrobacterium tumefaciens.

Environmental Microbiology, 2015
Bacteria utilize signal molecules to ensure their survival in environmental niches, and indole is an interspecies and interkingdom signalling molecule, which is widespread in the natural environment.

Particulate Cytochrome c in Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Archives Internationales de Physiologie et de Biochimie, 1975
In Agrobacterium tumefaciens the main part of c-type cytochromes is tightly bound to the bacterial cell envelope structures. Several techniques were attempted to solubilize these cytochromes. The highest yield of cytochromes released is obtained by treatment of particle suspensions with 5% Triton X-100.

Characterization of an Agrobacterium tumefaciens lectin

Glycobiology, 1991
An Agrobacterium tumefaciens suspension induces a strong agglutination of aldehyde-fixed pig erythrocytes at pH 5.0. The agglutination is inhibited by some polysaccharides, such as fucoidin, and also when the pH is raised to 7.0. Lectins (sugar-binding proteins) associated with the bacterial cell wall of A.

The Oncogenes of Agrobacterium Tumefaciens and Agrobacterium Rhizogenes

2008
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.

Exploitation of Agrobacterium tumefaciens

1992
During invasion of wounded plants, soil agrobacteria transfer a defined segment of their Ti and Ri plasmids into the plants. The transferred DNA, termed T-DNA, is integrated into the plant nuclear genome. Genes encoded by Ti and Ri plasmid T-DNAs are expressed in plants and confer the synthesis of plant growth factors as well as sugar and amino acid ...

THE INDUCTION OF LEAF TUMORS BY AGROBACTERIUM TUMEFACIENS

American Journal of Botany, 1965
Using carborundum as an abrasive and light rubbing with a culture of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, leaves of various species of bean and tobacco develop tumors on the leaf lamina. The induction of these tumors requires wounding, the presence of a virulent strain of the bacterium and is due to the bacterium, not substances released into the bacterial ...
