Crown-gall-resistant transgenic apple trees that silence Agrobacterium tumefaciens oncogenes
2003-11-01
Abstract excerpt
Crown gall disease is an economically significant problem in fruit and nut orchards, vineyards, and nurseries worldwide. Tumors on stems and leaves result from excessive production of the phytohormones auxin and cytokinin in plant cells genetically transformed by Agrobacterium tumefaciens. High phytohormone levels result from expression of three oncogenes transferred stably into the plant genome from A. tumefacien...
