Table 1. Quantitative analysis of ku80-mutant, complemented ku80-mutant, wild-type, and KU80-overexpressing plants.

Plant Roots producing galls,* % Tumor morphology GUS expression, % of control
High-concentration inoculum§
   Wild type 92 ± 3 Large and green 100
   ku80 mutant 7 ± 1 Very small, yellow 95 ± 2
   Rescued ku80 mutant 89 ± 4 Large and green 96 ± 3
Low-concentration inoculum
   KU80 overexpression 88 ± 3 Very large and green 52 ± 4
   Wild type 42 ± 5 Large and green 50 ± 3
*

Numbers represent the percentages of root segments producing galls 5–6 weeks postinoculation (n = 10 plates)

Characterization of tumor morphology, as described (22)

GUS expression levels were calculated as percentages of the control (wild-type plants infected with a high concentration of Agrobacterium inoculum) (n = 10 plates)

§

High-concentration Agrobacterium inoculum was used for comparison between the wild type, ku80 mutant, and rescued ku80 mutant, whereas low-concentration Agrobacterium inoculum was used for comparison between wild-type and KU80-overexpressing plants
