    Abstract:
    The rol genes of root-inducing plasmids (pRi) are essential for tumorigenesis on various dicotyledonous plants. The nucleotide sequences of the rol genes together with their flanking regions from the mikimopine-type pRi1724 were analyzed and compared with the corresponding portions of the agropine-type pRiA4 and the mannopine-type pRi8196 that were previously reported [Slightom et al., J. Biol. Chem., 261, 108-121 (1986); Hansen et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 88, 7763-7767 (1991)]. The sequenced region of 8967 bp contained seven ORFs, five on the upper strand and two on the lower one. These ORFs resembled the ORFs 8, 10 (rolA), 11 (rolB), 12 (rolC), 13, 13a, and 14 of pRiA4 and pRi8196. However, the similarity of the rolABC genes, particularly rolA, among the three plasmids, was considerably lower than that of other ORFs. The spacer regions between the ORFs were also conserved, but to a smaller extent than ORFs, among the three plasmids.
