| Summary: | The broad host range pathogenic bacteriumAgrobacterium tumefaciens has been widely studiedas a model system to understand horizontal geneflow, secretion of effector proteins into host cells,and plant-pathogen interactions. Agrobacterium mediated plant transformation also is the majormethod for generating transgenic plants for researchand biotechnology purposes. Agrobacterium specieshave the natural ability to conduct interkingdomgenetic transfer from bacteria to eukaryotes,including most plant species, yeast, fungi, and evenanimal cells. In nature, A. tumefaciens causes crowngall disease resulting from expression in plants ofauxin and cytokinin biosynthesis genes encodedby the transferred (T-) DNA |
