title: [6b genes: the important effective factors relative to tumor formation in plants].
abstract: In recent years, the functional mechanisms of the oncogenens from Agrobacterium in plants were received more and more attentions. 6b genes, derived from the T-DNA fragment, are vital carcinogenesis factors of plants and belong to rolB genes family. In plants, 6b genes can affect phytohormone levels and carbohydrate contents, and can also cause accumulation of secondary metabolites, as well as change the relative genes expression. The specific mechanisms behind these impacts remain to be researched in-depth. In this paper, the function, structure, activity, and acting mode of the 6b genes were summarized, which provide a theoretical foundation for further study and application of these functional genes.
