Crown gall, disease of plants caused by the bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
The key was a soil microbe called Agrobacterium tumefaciens, which can inject its own DNA into plants, causing a tumorlike growth called crown gall disease.
The bacteria cause benign tumors called crown gall disease in trees.
The phytopathogenic bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens is the causative agent of crown gall disease on a broad range of plant species.
Among the biotic constraints, the emerging faba bean gall disease, caused by Olpidium viciae, is the major and most destructive disease wherever faba bean is grown.
Among the biotic constraints, the emerging faba bean gall disease, caused by Olpidium viciae, is the major and most destructive disease in regions where faba bean is grown.
This review briefly highlights the key steps in DNA transfer during natural A. tumefaciens infection and the subsequent development of crown gall disease.
A combined analysis of variance showed a significant difference (P < 0.05) among faba bean varieties with respect to the incidence and severity of gall disease at both locations.
Field experiments were conducted at two locations to evaluate the efficacy and application frequency of fungicides that effectively and efficiently control faba bean gall disease.
The tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid of the soil microorganism Agrobacterium tumefaciens is the agent of crown gall disease in dicotyledonous plants.
