Abstract excerpt
After completion of the Arabidopsis genome-sequencing programme, crown galls induced by Agrobacterium tumefaciens may become a model system to study plant tumour development. The molecular mechanisms of nutrient supply to support tumour growth and development are still unknown. In this study, we have identified a unique profile of Shaker-like potassium channels in agrobacteria-induced Arabidopsis tumours....
