Gonorrhoea is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by a bacterium. It is a common infection, especially amongst people aged 15 to 24. Agrobacterium tumefaciens transfers some of its own DNA to ...

These mutations improve biocontainment, transformation stability, and overall performance in genetic engineering of plants. Complementing the strains, researchers also developed new plasmids and a ...

Grafting is a traditional and significant strategy to suppress soil-borne diseases, such as the crown gall disease caused by tumorigenic Agrobacterium and Rhizobium. Root exudates and the rhizosphere ...

Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a plant pathogen responsible for crown gall disease. I know what you’re thinking, plant pathogen? Boring. Not so! In fact, A. tumefaciens is an incredibly clever and ...

• Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a niche-constructing biotroph that exploits host plant metabolites. • We combined metabolomics, transposon-sequencing (Tn-seq), transcriptomics, and reverse genetics to ...

Figure 1: Specific interaction between VirF and VIP1 in yeast and plant cells. If VirF and ASK1 are involved in uncoating of the T-DNA before its expression and integration, they both should reside in ...

Annals of Botany, Vol. 101, No. 7 (May 2008), pp. 929-940 (12 pages) • Background and Aims The aims of this study were to set up proliferation conditions for hairy roots of Coffea arabica regenerated ...

Sweet potatoes from all over the world naturally contain genes from the bacterium Agrobacterium, researchers report. Sweet potato is one of the most important food crops for human consumption in the ...

A combined public and private team of microbiologists has completed sequencing the genome of the plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens. This bacterium has become an essential tool for plant ...
