Crown Gall Disease and Prospects for Genetic Manipulation of Plants

Science, 1982
Agrobacterium tumefaciens incites crown gall tumors when bacterial DNA integrates into plant nuclear DNA. Plant cells can express these integrated bacterial genes. Following insertion of desired genes into bacterial DNA using recombinant DNA techniques, this system permits introduction of these new genes into plant DNA.

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.

Effect of Potential Biocontrol Agents Selected Among Grapevine Endophytes and Commercial Products on Crown Gall Disease

BioControl, 2017
The current strategies for the control of Agrobacterium vitis crown gall in grape are generally unsuccessful once the pathogen has established in vineyards.

Agrobacterium biology and crown gall disease

2006
The crown gall tumors produced in dicotyledonous plants by Agrobacterium tumefaciens results from the introduction of a segment of DNA (T-DNA), derived from its tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid, into plant cells at the infected site. This disease can cause significant economic losses in perennial crops worldwide.

Morphogenic determinants as Exemplified by the Crown-gall Disease

1976
The autonomous tumors (crown-gall) and organoid galls induced in many higher plants on infection with bacteria of the genus Agrobacterium provide unique experimental material with which to study self-sustaining changes in developmental and biosynthetic capacity.

Crown Gall of Grapevine: Disease Management Considerations

1987
Crown gall can be a serious disease on grapevine often causing extensive losses. Infected vines show reduced shoot growth and portions of the vine apical to the galls often die. Although the majority of galling is usually present within 12 to 15 cm of the soil line, aerial galling may extend a meter or more up the trunks and into wood that is at least ...

The Ecology of Agrobacterium vitis and Management of Crown Gall Disease in Vineyards

2018
Agrobacterium vitis is the primary causal agent of grapevine crown gall worldwide. Symptoms of grapevine crown gall disease include tumor formation on the aerial plant parts, whereas both tumorigenic and nontumorigenic strains of A. vitis cause root necrosis. Genetic and genomic analyses indicated that A.

Crown Gall of Blackberry: Field Spread and Susceptibility to Disease

Plant Pathology, 1978
SUMMARY In two commercial blackberry plantations almost all the bushes became infected with crown gall ( Agrobacterium tumefaciens (Smith & Townsend) Conn) within five years of establishment from nursery stock in which there was some infection.

The potential for biological control of crown gall disease on grapevines

Trends in Biotechnology, 1986
Abstract Crown gall is caused by the bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens . Non-pathogenic isolates of this species which produce pathogen-specific toxins, called agrocins, have been used successfully as biological control agents on a variety of plants.
