Extra DNA in the T region of crown gall Ti-plasmid pTiA66.
The mutant tumorigenic phenotype of pTiA66, a derivative of the broad host range octopine Ti-plasmid pTiA6, results from a 2.6-Kb insertion into EcoRI fragment 32g of the T region, which has been implicated in the auxin synthesis disruption tumor character. The inserted DNA is closely related to sequences from BamHI fragment 11 of the same or a related plasmid but probably originally derives from a chromosomal sequence.
