Relationship between Nif plasmids of fast-growing Rhizobium species and Ti plasmids of Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
By use of the Southern blot hybridization technique the extent of DNA homology was determined between the Nif plasmid of a number of fast-growing Rhizobium species and Ti plasmids of the octopine (pTiAch5) and nopaline (pTiC58) type. DNA sequences common to these plasmids were located on functional maps of the Ti plasmids. No homology between Nif plasmids and the T region of Ti plasmids was det...
متن کاملThe Agrobacterium Ti Plasmids.
Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a plant pathogen with the capacity to deliver a segment of oncogenic DNA carried on a large plasmid called the tumor-inducing or Ti plasmid to susceptible plant cells. A. tumefaciens belongs to the class Alphaproteobacteria, whose members include other plant pathogens (Agrobacterium rhizogenes), plant and insect symbionts (Rhizobium spp. and Wolbachia spp., respecti...
متن کاملRapid mapping of transposon insertion and deletion mutations in the large Ti-plasmids of Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
A procedure is presented, that has allowed the rapid assignment of transposon Tn1 and Tn7 insertion sites in the large (130 Md) nopaline Ti-plasmid pTiC58, to specific restriction enzyme fragments. Total bacterial DNA is isolated from Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain C58 mutants that carry a transposon in their Ti-plasmid, and digested with an appropriate restriction endonuclease. The fragments...
متن کاملComplementation analysis of Agrobacterium tumefaciens Ti plasmid mutations affecting oncogenicity.
A wide host range cosmid vector has been constructed by insertion of the lambda cos site into the plasmid pRK2501. This cosmid, which is maintained in Agrobacterium tumefaciens and is compatible with the Ti plasmid, has been used to make a clone bank of the A. tumefaciens pTiA6 plasmid. Several pTiA6 cosmids have been used to complement Tn5-induced Ti plasmid mutations. Five avirulent mutations...
متن کاملTi plasmid-controlled chromosome transfer in Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
In octopine-type A. tumefaciens R10, transfer of chromosomal arginine degradation genes (arc genes) was observed under conditions in which Ti plasmid transfer took place. However, transconjugants that had acquired the arc genes but not the Ti plasmid were recovered. During this process, several other chromosomal genes, such as genes encoding phage resistances or genes complementing a galactose ...
