The emerging structure of theAgrobacteriumT‐DNA transfer complex

摘要

AbstractSingle‐stranded DNA‐protein complex (T‐complex) is proposed to mediate T‐DNA transfer fromAgrobacteriumto plant cells. A novel model for transfer is presented which incorporates features of both bacterial conjugation and viral infection. Specific protein components of the T‐complex, its ultrastructure and possible functions in the plant cell are
