Attachment of Agrobacterium tumefaciens B6 and A. radiobacter K84 to tomato root tips

Abstract

Agrobacterium tumefaciens B6 and the avirulent Agrobacterium radiobacter strain K84 attached to in vitro-cultured tomato root tips, but the binding of strain B6 to root tips was greater than the binding of strain K84. Strain K84 was not able to block the attachment of A. tumefaciens B6 to in vitro- cultured tomato root tips.
