Abstract
Agrobacterium tumefaciens was capable of directing the transformation of Gladiolus sp., a monocot genus belonging to the family Iridaceae. Only strains capable of transferring T-DNA formed tumors, sections of which could be cultured in phytohormone-free media. Opine synthase activities were also observed in homogenates made from these tumors.
