Agrobacterium strain specificity and shooty tumour formation in eucalypt (Eucalyptus grandis ×E. urophylla).

To develop a successful protocol forAgrobacterium-mediated transformation in plants it is essential to determine the most efficient bacterial strain/plant genotype interaction. In the present work, we evaluated the susceptibility ofEucalyptus grandis ×E. urophylla to fiveAgrobacterium rhizogenes and twelveA.
