Agrobacterium Tumefaciens: What Segment of the Plasmid is Responsible for the Induction of Crown Gall Tumors ?

  • Chapter
Nucleic Acids and Protein Synthesis in Plants

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((NSSA,volume 12))

Abstract

Several causes of plant tumors have been described (1). Particularly intriguing is the case of the crown gall tumors. The agent inducing this disease is a Gram-negative bacterium, Agrobacterium tumefaciens belonging to the family of the Rhizobiaceae. Until now it is the only documented case where an oncogenic agent is of bacterial origin.
