Abstract

Sensitivity of fourteenA. tumefaciens andA. rhizogenes strains to agrocin 84 was followed. A new agrocin 84 sensitivity of mannopine strains ofA. rhizogenes 8196 and TR101 was described. Agropine strains ofA. rhizogenes andA. tumefaciens were sensitive to agrocin 84, too. Agrocin 84 sensitivity of succinamopine and mannopine strains ofA. tumefaciena was also confirmed.
