Abstract excerpt
Root colonization by Agrobacterium tumefaciens was measured by using tomato and Arabidopsis thaliana roots dipped in a bacterial suspension and planted in soil. Wild-type bacteria showed extensive growth on tomato roots; the number of bacteria increased from 10(3) bacteria/cm of root length at the time of inoculation to more than 10(7) bacteria/cm after 10 days. The numbers of cellulose-minus and nonattaching...
