Abstract excerpt
Acetosyringone, a phenolic inducer of the virulence (vir) genes of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, inhibited the growth of the nopaline-type strains T37 and C58 incubated under acidic conditions. In the course of a 6-day incubation with acetosyringone, avirulent clones were produced in different proportions by strains T37 and C58 and also by a spontaneous variant of strain C58, denominated C58F. The proportion of...
