Abstract | Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a plant pathogen that causes crown gall disease on a wide range of host species by transferring and integrating a part of its own DNA (T-DNA) into the plant genome. The genes responsible of the above-mentioned processes are well characterized. However, a large number of the mechanisms involved in exploitation and colonization of the galls (also named plant tumors) remain unknown. Due to recent development of "transposon-sequencing" (Tn-Seq) techniques, a high-throughput screening and identification of the different genes involved in such mechanisms is now possible. In this chapter, we describe the detailed methodology used to construct a transposon library in A. tumefaciens and to conduct a Tn-Seq approach to discover genes involved in plant tumor exploitation and colonization. |
