Sample Entry:
Term: Agrobacterium tumefaciens
Definition: A soil bacterium that causes crown gall disease in plants. Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that is found in soil and water. It is the causative agent of crown gall disease, a neoplastic disease that affects a wide range of plants. Agrobacterium tumefaciens infects plants through wounds, and the bacteria then transfer a piece of their DNA, called the T-DNA, into the plant cells. The T-DNA contains genes that encode enzymes that produce opines, which are compounds that the bacteria use as a food source. The T-DNA also contains genes that encode proteins that cause the plant cells to produce tumors.
Cross-References:
- Crown gall disease
