Abstract excerpt
A tobacco line genetically modified to produce two N-acyl homoserine lactones and its non-transformed parental line were grown in non-sterile soil. Microbial populations inhabiting the bulk soil, and those colonizing the root system of the two tobacco lines, were analyzed using cultivation-independent (phospholipid fatty acid and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis) and cultivation-based assays. The cell...
