A genetic construct found in this organism can be classi ed as noÂ·paÂ·line, octopine or agropine depending on what type of opine (oh-peen) is used by this organism as a source of nitrogen.
Overdrive sequences enhance the rate of integration of this organism's genetic material into a host. A genetic construct found in this organism can be classi ed as noÂ·paÂ·line, octopine or agropine depending on what type of opine (oh-peen) is used by this organism as a source of nitrogen. VirA (veer-"a"), a histidine kinase, is one part of a two component-system encoded by the vir operon of this organism. Phenolic compounds like aÂ·cetoÂ·syringÂ·one can be used to induce infection by this organism. Certain species can be transformed by dipping them in a liquid culture of this organism. Infection with this organism, which carries the Ti plasmid, leads to the formation of benign tumors known as crown gall disease. For 10 points, name this bacterium commonly used in plant biotechnology to transform Arabidopsis.
