From A. rhizogenes RolD to Plant P5CS: Exploiting Proline to Control Plant Development [PDF]
The capability of the soil bacterium Agrobacterium rhizogenes to reprogram plant development and induce adventitious hairy roots relies on the expression of a few root-inducing genes (rol A, B, C and D), which can be transferred from large virulence ...
