  • Title: Agrobacterium tumefaciens ribonucleic acid synthesis in tomato cells and crown gall induction.
    Author: Stroun M, Anker P, Gahan P, Rossier A, Greppin H.
    Journal: J Bacteriol; 1971 May; 106(2):634-9. PubMed ID: 5573736.
    Abstract:
    Purified Agrobacterium tumefaciens deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) does not produce crown gall tumors in growing plants, conditioned by wounding, as the living bacteria do. Purified bacterial DNA migrates in the plant and replicates, but it is not transcribed in our experimental conditions. On the contrary, when DNA is released naturally from bacteria into plant cells, a bacterial ribonucleic acid (RNA) can be found in these cells. There seems to be a direct relation between the appearance of A. tumefaciens RNA in the plant cells and the induction of the tumor.
