Modification of rhizobacterial populations by engineering bacterium utilization of a novel plant-produced resource
(Nature Publishing Group: Nature Biotechnology, 1997-04)
The ability to catabolize distinct nutrients produced by a plant may be a factor in the successful colonization of that host by a bacterium when in competition with other rhizosphere microorganisms. We tested this hypothesis ...
Translocation and exudation of tumor metabolites in crown galled plants
(American Phytopathological Society: Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 1996-05)
Crown gall tumors are induced on susceptible plants by pathogenic strains of Agrobacterium. These neoplastic plants cells produce metabolites, called opines, which provide a source of nutrients to colonizing agrobacteria. ...
