Abstract

Agrobacterium tumefaciens J73, a biotype 2 strain harboring a nopaline Ti plasmid, was found to produce an agrocin active against a broad range of A. tumefaciens strains, including grapevine isolates. Sensitivity to J73 is not encoded by a Ti plasmid. Optimal conditions for the production of the agrocin were determined.
