Abstract excerpt
Virulence genes of Agrobacterium tumefaciens are induced in parallel in the presence of plant phenolic compounds such as acetosyringone and the two regulatory vir genes virA and virG. In this study we identified a cis-acting regulatory sequence in the 5'-noncoding region of the virE operon that i...
