Abstract
- Bacterial pathogens have not been reported in association with Theobroma cacao. However, three strains of Agrobacterium tumefaciens isolated from chrysanthemum induced galls in seedling cacao plants grown in a greenhouse. Since T. cacao is thus a proven host for the crown gall bacterium, the Ti plasmid of A. tumefaciens may possibly be used as a vector for the introduction of selected DNA into cacao
