Plant Cells Transformed by Modified Ti Plasmids: A Model System to Study Plant Development

  • Conference paper
Biochemistry of Differentiation and Morphogenesis

Abstract

Ti plasmids are harbored by a group of soil bacteria (Agrobacteria) and are responsible for the capacity of these bacteria to induce so-called “crown gall” tumors on most dicotyledonous plants. (For recent reviews see Gordon 1979, Schell et al. 1979, Schilperoort et al. 1979, Van Montagu and Schell 1979, Schell and Van Montagu 1980, Schilperoort et al. 1980, Van Montagu et al. 1980). The plant tumor cells, unlike nontrans-formed plant tissues, can be cultured under axenic conditions on synthetic media in the absence of growth hormones, i.e. cytokinins and auxins (Braun 1956); the tumor cells also produce low molecular weight compounds called opines not found in untransformed plant tissues. The type of opine produced defines crown galls as octopine, nopaline, or agropine type tumors (Guyon et al. 1980).
