Crown gall formation on grapevine by Agrobacterium vitis is an important plant disease in many regions of the world. On grapevine, octopine/cucumopine (o/c) strains are widely distributed. Here we describe two chromosomal sequences of o/c strains of 15 and 20 kb, which reveal a high degree of polymorphism in different o/c isolates. Part of the polymorphism is due to the presence or absence of a 2.2-kb-long repeated sequence, a homolog of which is also found on the octopine Ti plasmid of Ach5, immediately to the left of the left TL-region border. The occurrence and distribution of this repeat in different o/c isolates make it possible to reconstruct the evolution of these strains. The chromosomal DNA sequences outside the repeats also differ in various isolates. The two probes described here can be used to identify strains from a collection, classify new isolates, or trace a given isolate under experimental release conditions.

Background: A grapevine crown gall tumor strain, sp. strain Rr2-17 was previously reported to accumulate copious amounts of diverse quorum sensing signals during growth. Genome sequencing identified a single luxI homolog in strain Rr2-17, suggesting that it may encode for a AHL synthase with broad substrate range, pending functional validation.

Crown gall disease of grapevines caused by causes significant damage to vineyards in cold-climate viticulture areas such as Canada and the northern United States. Introduction of the disease into vineyards occurs mainly through planting of infected but asymptomatic nursery material. Because is not a regulated pest for import into Canada, no information on the health status of nursery material destined for import into Canada has previously been collected.

This work presents the design of a new protein based on the adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette (ABC) transporter solute binding protein (SBP) derived from Agrobacterium vitis, a gram-negative plant pathogen. The Protein Data Bank in Europe's dictionary of chemical components was utilized to identify sorbitol and D-allitol. Allitol bound to an ABC transporter SBP was identified in the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank (RCSB).
