Crown gall teratoma formation is plasmid and plant controlled.

Experiments using different species of the plant Nicotiana and strains of the bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens showed that teratoma formation from crown galls was dependent on the combination of bacterial Ti plasmid and host plant used.     

Characterization and host range determination of soybean super virulent Agrobacterium tumefaciens KAT23

Agrobacterium tumefaciens KAT23 isolated from peach root causes crown gall disease in a number of grain legume plants, including the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and soybean (Glycine max). KAT23 caused tumor formation in each of these plants more effectively than strain C58. Biotype determination suggested that this strain is biotype II. KAT23 was able to utilize nopaline as a carbon source. Partial sequence analysis indicated that KAT23 harbors a nopaline-type Ti plasmid, designated pTiKAT23, which was highly homologous with other nopaline-type Ti plasmids (pTiC58 and pTiSAKURA). KAT23 transferred not only the T-DNA of the Ti plasmid but also introduced T-DNA of the binary vector efficiently. The common bean inoculated with KAT23 (pIGFP121-Hm) showed crown galls, and some plants showed beta-glucuronidase (GUS) and sGFP (S65T) gene expression. This virulent ability of KAT23 indicates its potential application to legumes, especially to soybean transformation.     

Attachment of Agrobacteria to Grape Cells

The presence of the Ti plasmid favorably influences the attachment of agrobacteria to grape callus cells, especially during the early stages of a 2-h incubation. Agrobacterium strains attached to a similar extent to both the crown gall-resistant cultivar (Catawba), Vitis labruscana, and the crown gall-susceptible cultivar (Chancellor), Vitis sp. Attachment of the virulent strain to grape callus cells is blocked by the avirulent strain HLB-2 in both the tissue culture cell suspension and the seedling root systems.     

Relationship between the limited and wide host range octopine-type Ti plasmids of Agrobacterium tumefaciens.

The relationship between the limited host range octopine Ti plasmids and the wide host range octopine Ti plasmids pTiB6806 and pTiA6 was studied. The limited host range Ti plasmids shared extensive deoxyribonucleic acid homology; pTiAg63 and pTiAg162 were essentially completely homologous with pTiAg158 while pTiAg57 shared approximately 64% homology with pTiAg158. In contrast, the limited host range octopine Ti plasmids only shared 6 to 15% homology with the wide host range octopine Ti plasmid pTiB6806. Thus, limited and wide host range octopine Ti plasmids comprise distinct families of plasmids. The deoxyribonucleic acid homology shared between the limited host range Ti plasmids and pTiB6806, however, was distributed over some 50% of pTiB6806, suggesting that both families of plasmids evolved from a common progenitor plasmid. The limited host range Ti plasmids showed relatively strong homology with pTiB6806 HpaI fragment 7, a region which codes for octopine utilization by the bacterium, but showed only weak homology with pTiB6806 HpaI fragment 12, a region required for virulence. In addition, homology between the limited host range octopine Ti plasmids and the "common deoxyribonucleic acid," sequences shown to have a central role in plant cell transformation, was barely detectable when stringent hybridization conditions were used. We therefore conclude that a highly conserved version of the common deoxyribonucleic acid is not required for crown gall tumorigenesis on all plant species.     

Deletion derivatives of pAgK84 and their use in the analysis of Agrobacterium plasmid functions.

The 47.7-kb plasmid pAgK84, present in Agrobacterium radiobacter strain K84, confers production of a novel, highly specific, antiagrobacterial antibiotic called agrocin 84. Strain K84 is used commercially to biocontrol crown gall caused by agrocin 84-susceptible strains of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Efficient biocontrol is dependent upon production of agrocin 84 by strain K84. Starting with a derivative of pAgK84 containing a Tn5 insertion, a series of deletion derivatives of the plasmid were isolated. The smallest of these, pJS500, contains about 8 kb of the original agrocin plasmid and localized the replication functions to between 4 and 6 o'clock on the physical map. A smaller derivative, produced by clonal rescue of a Tn5 insertion in the 4 o'clock region, further localized the minimal replication functions to a 1.5-kb region mapping between coordinates 18.1 and 19.6. Analysis of plasmid stability indicated that functions required for maintenance of the plasmid under nonselective conditions are tightly linked to the minimal replication region. This region also encodes incompatibility functions; the deletion derivatives were all incompatible with the wild-type pAgK84. The stability/replication locus of pAgK84 maps just anticlockwise from the Tra region. This region is retained fully in pAgK1026, the directed Tra- derivative of pAgK84 which is now in use as the primary crown gall biocontrol agent in Australia. One of the deletion derivatives, the 15-kb pJS400, was used as a vector to clone the KpnI fragments of an octopine-type Ti plasmid. Traits known to be encoded on these fragments were expressed and properly regulated in Agrobacterium hosts. One clone, encoding the Ti plasmid replication/incompatibility region, was used to cure IncRh1 Ti plasmids from their hosts. This clone also was found to be incompatible with pAtK84b, a large plasmid encoding opine catabolism present in A. radiobacter strain K84. This indicates that the opine catabolic plasmid is closely related to the IncRh1 Ti plasmids.     

Mechanisms of crown gall formation: T-DNA transfer fromAgrobacterium tumefaciens to plant cells

Agrobacterium tumefaciens harbouring the Ti plasmid incites crown gall tumor on dicotyledonous species. Upon infection of these plants, T-DNA in the Ti plasmid is transferred by unknown mechanisms to plant cells to be integrated into nuclear DNA. WhenAgrobacterium is incubated with protoplasts or seedlings of dicotyledonous plants, circulation of T-DNA and expression ofvir (virulence) genes on the Ti plasmid are induced. The circularization event is efficiently induced by mesophyll protoplasts of tobacco which are highly competent for transformation by the T-DNA, and is also induced by diffusible phenolic compounds excreted from the protoplasts. The circularization and formation of crown gall both require the expression of thevirD locus, one of the induciblevir genes. These results suggest that the circularization of T-DNA reflects one of steps of the T-DNA transfer during formation of crown gall. In contrast to dicotyledonous plants, monocotyledonous plants are thought to be unresponsive to infection byAgrobacterium. We showed that monocotyledonous plants do not excrete diffusible inducers for the expression ofvir genes, while they contain a novel type of a signal substance(s). This inducer is not detected in the exudates of seedlings of monocotyledonous plants, but is found in the extracts from the seedlings, and also those from the seeds, bran and germ of wheat and oats. This finding suggests that T-DNA processing, and possibly its transfer, should take place whenAgrobacterium invades seedlings and seeds of monocotyledonous plants.

The lysopinedehydrogenase gene used as a marker for the selection of octopine crown gall cells

Plant cells transformed into octopine-synthesizing tumour cells by the bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens survive when cultured in the presence of homo-arginine (HA), whereas both normal plant cells and nopaline producing plant tumour cells do not. Survival of octopine crown gall cells is due to the activity of the enzyme lysopinedehydrogenase (LpDH) in these cells, which converts toxic homo-arginine into non-toxic homo-octopine. The selective toxicity of homo-arginine for normal cells can be applied for the enrichment of octopine Ti plasmid transformed plant cells vs normal plant cells in mixed cultures.
