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 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.

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 ...

The Molecular Genetics Of Crown Gall Tumorigenesis

1984
Publisher Summary The most important characteristic that immediately distinguishes agrobacteria from most other bacteria is their ability to induce tumor formation in plants. Agrobacteria transform “conditioned” plant cells into tumor cells by introducing into them a piece of genetic information which in established plant tumor cells can be recovered
