Abstract
Transcription of the vir genes of the Ti-plasmid in Agrobacterium species, typically induced by phenolic compounds secreted by wounded plant cells, is enhanced when induction is carried out in the presence of effective amounts of an opine from the Octopine Family of Nopaline Family. Production of T-strands in Agrobacterium species can be potentiated by induction preferably in the presence of octopine, nopaline, succinamopine, or leucinopine. Agrobacterium species induced in the presence of an opine compound of the Nopaline or Octopine Family effect highly efficient transformation of even recalcitrant plant species.
