Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The primary aim of this study is to reveal the mechanism of a unique Agrobacterium strain that has property suitable for rice transformation. So far, they thought that rice has no or little material that induces vir gene expression in agrobacteria. Here we successfully extract and purify the substance, and then determined the molecular structure. The fact was supported by an experiment using the chemically synthesized material. This study also showed that the phenotype of the strain is determined not by Ti plasmid but by chromosomal background of the strain.
