Abstract
Editorial: "Agrobacterium biology and its application to transgenic plant production".
Highlights
The extraordinary Agrobacterium research story started from the search for the causative agent of crown gall disease more than 100 years ago
Agrobacterium tumefaciens was first isolated from grapevine galls in 1897 and later isolated from Paris daisy in 1907 (Cavara, 1897a,b; Smith and Townsend, 1907)
This Research Topic provides a collection of reviews and original research articles on Agrobacterium genes involved in bacterial physiology/virulence and plant genes involved in transformation and defense against Agrobacterium
Summary
The extraordinary Agrobacterium research story started from the search for the causative agent of crown gall disease more than 100 years ago. This Research Topic provides a collection of reviews and original research articles on Agrobacterium genes involved in bacterial physiology/virulence and plant genes involved in transformation and defense against Agrobacterium. Kado highlights key early plant pathology and milestone molecular biology studies leading to the conclusion that the expression of oncogenes in native T-DNA is the cause of tumor growth in plants.
