Abstract |
Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a plant pathogen that causes crown gall disease. During infection of the host plant, Agrobacterium transfers T-DNA from its Ti plasmid into the host cell, which can then be integrated into the host genome. This unique genetic transformation capability has been employed as the dominant technology for producing genetically modified plants for both basic research and biotechnological applications. Agrobacterium has been well studied as a disease-causing agent. The Agrobacterium-mediated transformation process involves early attachment of the bacterium to the host's surface, followed by transfer of T-DNA and virulence proteins into the plant cell. Throughout this process, the host plants exhibit dynamic gene expression patterns at each infection stage or in response to Agrobacterium strains with varying pathogenic capabilities. Shifting host gene expression patterns throughout the transformation process have effects on transformation frequency, host morphology, and metabolism. Thus, gene expression profiling during the Agrobacterium infection process can be an important approach to help elucidate the interaction between Agrobacterium and plants. This review highlights recent findings on host plant differential gene expression patterns in response to A. tumefaciens or related elicitor molecules. |
