Crown gall disease

Nature, 1979
Agrobacterium tumefaciens induces tumours in dicotyledonous plants by transferring part of a large bacterial plasmid to the eukaryotic cell. As well as disrupting control of cell division, the transferred DNA determines the synthesis in transformed tissue of novel amino acid compounds which serve as specific substrates for the bacterium.

Crown Gall Neoplasms

1989
Crown gall, a neoplastic disease of worldwide distribution, affects woody and herbaceous plants. Although this neoplasm occurs primarily in dicotyledons, it has also been found in gymnosperms and monocotyledons.1 Crown gall is characterized by the formation of tumors or galls of varying size and form which may occur on stems, roots, and leaves of ...

Polyamines and crown gall tumor growth

Plant Cell Reports, 1985
The effect of the polyamine spermidine on the growth of crown gall tumors was determined using the potato disc bioassay. Addition of lmM spermidine resulted in a 30-50% increase in tumor growth. The spermidine effect was found to be biphasic, with lmM being optimal.

Crown Gall and Cancer

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1916
To the Editor: —At last I have succeeded in producing small tumors in plants without the use of the crown gall organism ( Bacterium tumefaciens ), that is, simply by means of substances which are by-products of the bacterial growth. The tumors, though small, have been obtained repeatedly on several kinds of plants, and there seems to be no reasonable ...

Crown gall: Economic importance and control

Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie, Parasitenkunde, Infektionskrankheiten und Hygiene. Zweite Naturwissenschaftliche Abteilung: Mikrobiologie der Landwirtschaft, der Technologie und des Umweltschutzes, 1979
Many plants of economic importance are possible hosts for Agrobacterium tumefaciens, the causal organism of the crown gall tumor disease. Damage has been reported on stone fruit (Australia), vineyard (Hungary, Bulgaria), lettuce (Brasil) ... In Western-Europe, crown gall seems to be of less economic importance for plants growing in the open air ...

Cytokinins in tobacco crown gall tumors

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1980
Abstract Bacteria-free tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum cv. Wisconsin #38) crown gall strains incited by Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58, 27, B6, CGIC, and AT4 have been analyzed for cytokinin content with the tobacco callus bioassay. All tumor strains contained high total levels of cytokinins ranging from 4–810 kinetin equivalents per kg fresh ...
