Abstract:Tumorigenic agrobacteria are widespread plant pathogens causing crown gall and cane gall diseases on various agricultural crops. These pathogens genetically transform its host plant and thus form an ecological niche (galls), in which specific metabolites (i.e., opines) are produced. Opines provide the pathogen with multiple competitive advantages, but they can also be utilized by other bacteria colonizing galls. To gain a thorough understanding of disease processes and ecology, it is necessary to consider the … Show more
