Abstract

Beneficial growth of roots in dicotyledonous plants is achieved by genetic transformation with root-inducing A. rhizogenes, preferably the novel strain A. rhizogenes ATCC 39207. The A. rhizogenes not used to transform the plant is reduced to noninfective levels with A. radiobacter, preferably A. radiobacter K-84.
