| Popis: |
The soil bacterium Agrobacterium rhizogenes generates the “hairy root” syndrome in infected plants and is characterized by the neoplastic outgrowth of roots (Riker et al. 1930). The molecular basis of this phenomenon is the transfer and integration of a specific part of the root-inducing (Ri) plasmid of A. rhizogenes, called “transfer DNA” (T-DNA) into the genome of plant cells (Chilton et al. 1982; White et al. 1982; Willmitzer et al. 1982). The initial molecular events resemble those involved in the induction of the crown gall disease by Agrobacterium tumefaciens, its close relative (reviewed in Zupan et al. 2000). In the latter case, the T-DNA is located on the tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid. |
