| auxin rapidly down-regulates transcription of the tryptophan decarboxylase gene from catharanthus roseus. | the enzyme tryptophan decarboxylase (tdc) (ec 4.1.1.28) converts tryptophan into tryptamine, and thereby channels primary metabolites into indole alkaloid biosynthesis. the production of these secondary metabolites in suspension cells of catharanthus roseus depends on medium composition. of the possible variables, we investigated the effect of hormones on the expression of the tdc gene in cell cultures. omission of naa from the growth medium resulted in accumulation of tdc mrna. the addition of ... | 1992 | 1600147 |
| functional analysis of the promoter region of a nodule-enhanced glutamine synthetase gene from phaseolus vulgaris l. | the 5'-flanking region of gln-gamma, the nodule-enhanced glutamine synthetase gene from phaseolus vulgaris l., has been analysed for cis-regulatory elements using a series of 5' deletions and hybrid gln-gamma:: camv 35s promoters. the promoters were fused to the uida reporter gene and their activities tested in two heterologous expression systems. in the first system, the chimaeric genes were transferred to lotus corniculatus l. using agrobacterium rhizogenes and their expression was studied in ... | 1992 | 1353692 |
| plant regeneration from ri t-dna transformed roots of cabbage. | ri t-dna transformed roots were induced out on hypocotyl segments of cabbage infected with agrobacterium rhizogenes. after cultured for four months on solid ms medium without hormones, some parts of a few of transformed roots were dedifferentiated into callus clumps, and then redifferentiated into shoot buds. on solid ms medium supplemented with kinetin, shoot buds were differentiated directly from transformed roots without callus formation. among several concentrations of kinetin, 14 microm gav ... | 1990 | 2104201 |
| the non-conserved region of cucumopine-type agrobacterium rhizogenes t-dna is responsible for hairy root induction. | the t-dna regions of three strains of ri plasmids 1855, 8196, 2659 (agropine, mannopine and cucumopine type respectively) share two highly conserved regions flanking a non-homologous central part. we have cloned segments of the cucumopine ri plasmid 2659 t-dna in the binary vector system bin 19 and infected carrot discs with recombinant agrobacterium strains. we show here that the central non-conserved region is crucial in hairy root induction as it is sufficient to induce rooting on the apical ... | 1990 | 2102883 |
| the ptic58 tzs gene promotes high-efficiency root induction by agropine strain 1855 of agrobacterium rhizogenes. | root induction on flax (linum usitatissimum l.) cotyledon explants by agrobacterium rhizogenes strain 1855 is markedly increased by co-inoculation with disarmed a. tumefaciens strain lba 4404 containing a plasmid carrying the tzs gene of ptic58. most of the roots (estimated to be more than 90%) were transformed. this effect is most likely due to the secretion of trans-zeatin by a. tumefaciens stimulating the division of plant cells making them more receptive to transformation by a. rhizogenes, a ... | 1990 | 2102856 |

| differentiation of brucella abortus bv. 1, 2, and 4, brucella melitensis, brucella ovis, and brucella suis bv. 1 by pcr. | several pcr assays which identify the genus brucella but do not discriminate among species have been reported. we describe a pcr assay that comprises five oligonucleotide primers which can identify selected biovars of four species of brucella. individual biovars within a species are not differentiated. the assay can identify three biovars (1, 2, and 4) of b. abortus, all three biovars of b. melitensis, biovar 1 of b. suis, and all b. ovis biovars. these biovars include all of the brucella specie ... | 1994 | 7852552 |
| localization of agropine-synthesizing functions in the tr region of the root-inducing plasmid of agrobacterium rhizogenes 1855. | the region of the ri plasmid pri 1855 that encodes agropine synthesis has been identified through its sequence homology with the equivalent genes of the octopine ti plasmid pti ach5. interestingly the agropine genes lie outside the so-far identified t-dna of pri 1855, and are separated from this latter by a long sequence of non integrated plasmid dna. the presence of this additional t-dna (tright dna) in hairy roots was demonstrated by southern blot analysis and by the presence of specific trans ... | 1985 | 3991808 |
| restriction endonuclease mapping of the root-inducing plasmid of agrobacterium rhizogenes 1855. | the root-inducing plasmid of the agropine type agrobacterium rhizogenes 1855 was mapped by means of the restriction endonuclease ecori. the circular arrangement of the more than 60 fragments generated by this enzyme was established by electrophoretic analysis of pbr322 clones harboring overlapping segments of pri1855 derived by partial digestion with ecori. a large region of the plasmid comprising the t-dna was mapped with two additional enzymes, bamhi and hindiii, by means of southern blot hybr ... | 1983 | 6314408 |
| physical map of the agrobacterium rhizogenes strain 8196 virulence plasmid. | virulence of agrobacterium rhizogenes, agent of hairy root disease, is conferred by large plasmids called ri (root-inducing) plasmids. we have determined the bamhi fragment map of pri8196, mw 143 mda, principally by analysis of recombinant plasmids containing overlapping bamhi partial-digest fragments. clones containing solitary bamhi inserts of remaining unmapped fragments were used to probe a series of southern-blotted, pri8196-derived ecori, psti, hindiii, sali, or smai digests. continguous h ... | 1984 | 6324259 |
| restriction map of an agropine-type ri plasmid and its homologies with ti plasmids. | the ri plasmid of an agropine-type agrobacterium rhizogenes, strain hri, was cloned in a cosmid and mapped with the restriction endonucleases bamhi, ecori, kpni, smai, and xbai. this plasmid is almost identical to pri1855 and pria4b. a study by southern hybridizations of the homologies with octopine ptib6806 and nopaline ptic58 makes it possible to propose the localization of certain functions on this plasmid, such as virulence, agropine catabolism, agropine synthesis, and the origin of replicat ... | 1984 | 6095353 |
| transformation of several species of higher plants by agrobacterium rhizogenes: sexual transmission of the transformed genotype and phenotype. | the t-dna of the ri plasmid from agrobacterium rhizogenes is compatible with the regeneration of whole plants from genetically transformed roots and is transmitted through meiosis to the progeny of genetically transformed plants in carrot, tobacco, and morning glory (convolvulus arvensis). the presence of ri t-dna is correlated with a phenotype that in some respects is invariable from species to species and in other respects varies as a function of species, organ clone within species, or individ ... | 1984 | 6744417 |
| structure of t-dna in roots transformed by agrobacterium rhizogenes. | dna isolated from hairy roots incited on daucus carota by agrobacterium strains harboring the ri plasmid was probed with ri plasmid fragments to identify plasmid sequences transferred and integrated into the plant genome. one hairy root line was incited by an a. rhizogenes natural isolate strain harboring two large plasmids in addition to the ri plasmid. dna from hairy roots incited by this strain contained a total of five nonidentical copies of t-dna which together comprised a t-dna complement ... | 1983 | 6875427 |

| universal pcr primers for detection of phytopathogenic agrobacterium strains. | two pcr primer pairs, based on the vird2 and ipt genes, detected a wide variety of pathogenic agrobacterium strains. the endonuclease domain of vird2 protein, which cleaves transferred dna (t-dna) border sequences, is highly conserved; primer oligonucleotides specific for the endonuclease portion of vird2 detected all pathogenic strains of agrobacterium tested. pcr primers corresponding to conserved sequences in ipt, the t-dna-borne cytokinin synthesis gene, detected only agrobacterium tumefacie ... | 1995 | 7487020 |
| horizontal gene transfer: regulated expression of a tobacco homologue of the agrobacterium rhizogenes rolc gene. | a tobacco homologue (trolc) of the rolc gene of the agrobacterium rhizogenes ri-plasmid was cloned and sequenced from nicotiana tabacum l. cv. havana 425. the coding region of trolc is similar in sequence (69-87% for dna and 54-89% for the deduced amino acid sequence) to rolc genes of the agropine, mannopine, and mikimopine strains of ri-plasmids and the n. glauca rolc homologue. southern analyses showed that trolc is encoded by a small gene family derived from the tomentosiformis ancestor of to ... | 1995 | 7500950 |
| splicing of the rola transcript of agrobacterium rhizogenes in arabidopsis. | the rola gene encoded on the ri plasmid a4 of agrobacterium rhizogenes is one of the transferred (tl-dna) genes involved in the pathogenesis of hairy-root disease in plants. the function of the 100-amino acid protein product of rola is unknown, although its expression causes physiological and developmental alterations in transgenic plants. the rola gene of a. rhizogenes contains an intron in its untranslated leader region that has features typical of plant pre-messenger rna introns. transcriptio ... | 1994 | 7528444 |

| evaluation in tobacco of the organ specificity and strength of the rold promoter, domain a of the 35s promoter and the 35s2 promoter. | in order to study the expression in plants of the rold promoter of agrobacterium rhizogenes, we have constructed chimaeric genes placing the coding region of the gusa (uida) marker gene under control of two rold promoter fragments of different length. similar results were obtained with both genes. expression studies were carried out in transformed r1 progeny plants. in mature transformed tobacco plants, the rold-gus genes were expressed strongly in roots, and to much lower levels in stems and le ... | 1995 | 7581519 |
| deletion analysis and localization of sbprp1, a soybean cell wall protein gene, in roots of transgenic tobacco and cowpea. | sbprp1 is a member of the soybean (glycine max l. merr) proline-rich cell wall protein family and is expressed at high levels in root tissue. to characterize the sequences required for this expression, we have fused 1.1 kb of upstream flanking dna sequence from an sbprp1 genomic clone to a gene encoding beta-glucuronidase (gus). this construct was introduced into tobacco using agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation. histochemical staining of gus activity in transgenic tobacco indicate ... | 1993 | 7678758 |
| impaired photoassimilate partitioning caused by phloem-specific removal of pyrophosphate can be complemented by a phloem-specific cytosolic yeast-derived invertase in transgenic plants. | constitutive expression of the escherichia coli ppa gene encoding inorganic pyrophosphatase resulted in sugar accumulation in source leaves and stunted growth of transgenic tobacco plants. the reason for this phenotype was hypothesized to be reduced sucrose utilization and loading into the phloem. to study the role of ppi in phloem cells, a chimeric gene was constructed using the phloem-specific rolc promoter of agrobacterium rhizogenes to drive the expression of the ppa gene. removal of cytosol ... | 1995 | 7734961 |
| expression of agrobacterium rhizogenes auxin biosynthesis genes in transgenic tobacco plants. | plant oncogenes aux1 and aux2 carried by the tr-dna of agrobacterium rhizogenes strain a4 encode two enzymes involved in the auxin biosynthesis pathway in transformed plant cells. the short divergent promoter region between the two aux-coding sequences contains the main regulatory elements. this region was fused to the uida reporter gene and introduced into nicotiana tabacum in order to investigate the regulation and the tissue specificity of these genes. neither wound nor hormone induction coul ... | 1995 | 7787177 |

| a new agrobacterium strain isolated from aerial tumors on ficus benjamina l. | crown gall tumors, collected from branches of 1-year-old weeping fig (ficus benjamina l.) trees, yielded both tumorigenic and nonpathogenic agrobacteria. on the basis of classical diagnostic tests, the nonpathogenic strains were identified as agrobacterium tumefaciens, whereas the tumorigenic strains could not be assigned to any of the known terrestrial agrobacterium spp. the tumorigenic strains also differed from other members of the genus by producing more acid from mannitol. according to clus ... | 1995 | 7887626 |
| analysis of the lupin nodulin-45 promoter: conserved regulatory sequences are important for promoter activity. | the promoter from the lupinus angustifolius late nodulin gene, nodulin-45, has been analysed to identify cis-elements and trans-acting factors. various regions of the nodulin-45 promoter, fused to the luciferase reporter gene, were introduced into lotus roots using an agrobacterium rhizogenes, transformation procedure. the transgenic roots were then nodulated. the promoter region a (-172 to +13, relative to the transcription start site) was capable of directing low-level expression of the report ... | 1995 | 7894011 |
| bacterial plant oncogenes: the rol genes' saga. | the rol genes are part of the t-dna which is transferred by agrobacterium rhizogenes in plant cells, causing neoplastic growth and differentiation. each of these bacterial oncogenes deeply influences plant development and is finely regulated once transferred into the plant host. both from the study of the effects and biochemical function of the rol genes and from the analysis of their regulation, important insight in plant development can be derived. some of the most intriguing aspects of past, ... | 1994 | 7896140 |
| rol genes of agrobacterium rhizogenes cucumopine strain: sequence, effects and pattern of expression. | by sequencing the central region of the cucumopine-type t-dna of agrobacterium rhizogenes strain 2659, we identified three open reading frames homologous, to different extents, to orfs 10, 11 and 12 (rola, b and c) of the agropine-type (1855) t-dna. recombinant agrobacterium strains encompassing the orfs of 2659 t-dna--which we refer to as rol alpha, beta and gamma--were utilized to infect carrot discs and to obtain transgenic tobacco plants, in order to compare the morphogenetic capabilities to ... | 1994 | 7948887 |
| alterations of auxin perception in rolb-transformed tobacco protoplasts. time course of rolb mrna expression and increase in auxin sensitivity reveal multiple control by auxin. | expression and physiological effects of the root-inducing rolb gene of agrobacterium rhizogenes t-dna were studied simultaneously in tobacco (nicotiana tabacum) mesophyll protoplasts. the kinetic study of the expression of rolb mrna following exogenous auxin application showed that auxin transiently stimulated rolb expression, with mrna levels starting to accumulate 6 to 9 h after auxin was supplied and increasing 300-fold after 12 to 18 h. the parallel study of the auxin sensitivity of rolb-tra ... | 1994 | 7972494 |
| a new open reading frame, encoding a putative regulatory protein, in agrobacterium rhizogenes t-dna. | we report the presence of an open reading frame, named orf13a, encoding a putative regulatory protein on the t-dna of agrobacterium rhizogenes 8196 ri plasmid. homologous orfs are present at the same location in two other types of ri plasmids. we present evidence that orf13a is transcriptionally active. expression of orf13a was investigated by analysis of glucuronidase (gus) activity in transgenic tobacco containing an orf13agus fusion. the gene fusion was expressed at higher level in roots than ... | 1994 | 7987690 |
| bryonolic acid production in hairy roots of trichosanthes kirilowii max. var japonica kitam. transformed with agrobacterium rhizogenes and its cytotoxic activity. | the hairy roots of trichosanthes kirilowii max, var. japonica kitam. were induced by agrobacterium rhizogenes (tcc 15834) on sterile shoots. the axenic culture of hairy roots proliferated 30 to 60-fold based on the initial fresh weight after three weeks of culture in murashige & skoog liquid media. bryonolic acid as the main triterpenoid was isolated in a high yield, together with chondrillasterol from the hairy roots of this plant. bryonolic acid showed strong inhibition of the growth of b-16 m ... | 1994 | 8004724 |
| tumor formation and rhizogenicity of agrobacterium rhizogenes carrying ti plasmids. | octopine ti plasmids were introduced into different agrobacterium rhizogenes strains. transconjugants became able to utilize octopine and to induce aberrant tumors, the surface of which was all covered wioth roots of different size and morphology. the plasmids endogenous in a. rhizogenes were shown to be compatible with incrh-1 ti plasmids. | 1980 | 7439687 |
| the rolc promoter of agrobacterium rhizogenes ri plasmid is activated by sucrose in transgenic tobacco plants. | the 5'-upstream region of the rolc gene of the ri plasmid is expressed specifically in phloem cells of transgenic higher plants. in this study, we demonstrated that the rolc promoter is activated by sucrose in phloem cells of transgenic tobacco seedlings bearing rolc promoter-uida chimeric fusion gene. since the rolc promoter is not activated by sorbitol, sucrose metabolism rather than osmotic pressure exerted by the disaccharide may be responsible for induction. thus, experiments using 5'-upstr ... | 1994 | 8041357 |
| changing root system architecture through inhibition of putrescine and feruloyl putrescine accumulation. | plant roots provide anchorage and absorb the water and minerals necessary for photosynthesis in the aerial parts of the plant. since plants are sessile organisms, their root systems must forage for resources in heterogeneous soils through differential branching and elongation [(1988) funct. ecol. 2, 345-351; (1991) plant roots: the hidden half, pp. 3-25, marcel dekker, ny]. adaptation to drought, for instance, can be facilitated by increased root growth and penetration. root systems thus develop ... | 1994 | 8143867 |
