Geistein
B.
Acetosyringone
AnswerC.
Gluconic acid
D.
Sugar
Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
Tobacco root exudates contain Acetosyringone chemical substances during induction of chemotaxis against A. tumefaciens.Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a soil phytopathogen that naturally infects plant wound sites and causes crown gall disease via delivery of transferred (T)-DNA from bacterial cells into host plant cells through a bacterial type IV secretion system.
Acetosyringone is known to improve transformation efficiency by up-regulating the virulence of Agrobacterium. In previous studies using Eustoma, the effect of this compound has only been tested during inoculation.
