Summary The effects of exudates and extracts from suspension cultures or various parts of rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants on induction of vir (virulence) gene expression in Agrobacterium tumefaciens were examined. Only leaf extracts from panicle-differentiating plants to flowering plants were able to strongly induce activation and expression of vir genes. This induction was similar to that observed with 2 μM acetosyringone (AS), yet there was no synergy between AS and rice extracts. Responses to vir-inducing metabolites and signal molecules were different among various vir loci. These results demonstrate that one or more inducing factors for vir gene expression are also present in rice, but only in specific parts and developmental stages.
