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 viral disease symptoms, to identify the region of the Ti plasmid which is responsible for the major differences seen in...
