摘要
We have extended the technique of electroporation as a genetic tool for manipulating the Agrobacterium tumefaciens chromosome. We used this technique to introduce chromosomal DNA into recipient A. tumefaciens strains by electroporation and constructed isogenic chvE mutants that share the same chromosomal background but differ in their types of pTi (octopine or nopaline). Both nopaline and octopine pTi-carrying chvE mutants were deficient in vir regulon induction and exhibited similar reductions in host range.
