Large numbers of bacterial cells are not found in crown galls because?

Large numbers of bacterial cells are not found in crown galls because the bacteria responsible for gall formation (Agrobacterium tumefaciens) transfer only a small portion of their genetic material to the plant cell, triggering the formation of the gall. The bacteria do not actively multiply within the gall itself.


What are some examples of plant bacteria?

there is no real plant bacteria but there are a few types of bacteria that can grow on plants such as certain types of mold or fungi If by plant bacteria you mean bacterias that are "like" plants, then there are plenty of photosynthetic bacterias out there such as cyanobacteria.


What is the functions of acetosyringone?

Acetosyringone is a plant phenolic compound that serves as a signaling molecule in the process of plant-microbe interactions. It is involved in the induction of the virulence genes in Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a bacterium that causes crown gall disease in plants. Acetosyringone helps to activate the transfer of DNA from the bacterium to the plant cells, leading to the formation of tumors.


What will happen to Agrobacterium when it losses it Ti plasmid?

Ti plasmid functions to induce turmor or a desease known as "crown gall" to the most dicot (rarely monocot) plants. Transfer DNA or T-DNA will be released during the infection process into the plant cell and integrate with the DNA host. Hence, the plant host is already infected. That's the important function of the Ti plasmid, if there are no such plasmid exist, then the agrobacterium lost its pathogenic function.


WHY Agrobacterium tumefaciens affect only dicots not monocots?

A.Tumefaciens affect only dicots because the injured (infected) cells of dicots secrete a phenolic chemical known as Acetosyringone. This chemical is not secreted by the monocot cells or is secreted in a very low quantity which causes low efficiency of the disease (Crown Gall Disease)

What is a gall and what causes it and is it healthy?

How does typhoid result in cholecystitis?

This is a good question and need edit by expert. You have bacteremia in first week of typhoid. The bacteria probably settle there in gall bladder at that time. Cholecystitis is probably favoured by gall stones in the gall bladder.

How do gallstones produce pale feces?

Gall stones prevent bile from moving out of the gall bladder into the small intestine, the absence of bile causes the pale faeces.


Why herbivores don't have gall bladder?

because they have bacteria in their digestive tract which secrete cellulase enzyme to digest cellulose... so they dont need gall bladder in their digestion...
