Abstract excerpt
Agrobacteria exhibit marked Ti (tumor-inducing)/Ri (root-inducing) plasmid specificity in their interaction with the Gramineae. In this study, we have used the technique of "agroinfection," in which Agrobacterium-mediated delivery of viral genomes into plants is detected by the development of vir...
