Edited by Walt Ream and Stanton B. Gelvin SCROLL DOWN TO ORDER THIS TITLE. This collection of studies is an overview of recent advances in the influential field of crown gall research. The studies were presented in honor of Eugene W. Nester and Milton P. Gordon at the 1995 Northwest Crown Gall Conference. Less than two decades ago, Nester and Gordon made a landmark discovery about crown gall disease that generated an enormous amount of interest in crown gall research. Along with Mary-Dell Chilton, they proved that Agrobacterium tumefaciens causes crown gall disease through stable transfer of specific bacterial genes to plant cells. The research spurred by this discovery was so fruitful that it played a significant role in the creation of the plant molecular biology field and the plant biotechnology industry. Highlights of this volume include a report on the first significant progress on identification of key host factors for crown gall as well as research and literature reviews on ecology, gene regulation, and DNA transfer. 1996; softcover; 6" × 9" 193 pages; 16 black and white photographs 18 line drawings ISBN 0-89054-222-8 Table of Contents Signal Detection by VirA; Environmental and Genetic Factors Affecting RSF1010 Mobilization between Strains of Agrobacterium tumefaciens; The Role of Virulence Proteins in Nuclear Targeting and Integration of T-DNA; Ecological Significance of Avirulence in Agrobacterium; Transcriptional Regulation of Conjugal Transfer Genes of Octopine-type Ti Plasmids; Organization and Assembly of the Agrobacterium tumefaciens T-Complex Transport Apparatus; Agrobacterium and Plant Genes Affecting T-DNA Transfer and Integration; VirE1 Protein Mediates Export of the Single-Strand DNA-Binding Protein VirE2 from Agrobacterium tumefaciens into Plant Cells |
