Abstract
Crown gall of grape is one of the most serious diseases in commercial nurseries of many
grape-growing countries. On young vineyards of susceptible cultivars up to 75% of plants may die from galls
surrounding trunks and interfering the normal water and nutrients supply (Negrul, 1951, Burr, 1999). Crown gall
agents (Rhizobium vitis and R. radiobacter (Agrobacterium vitis, A. tumefaciens)) survive in grapevine
xylem and are transmitted by vegetative propagation (Lehoczky, 1968). In many cases infected plants remain
symptomless for a long time, allowing to select planting material from infected vineyards (Burr, 1984). Use of
such planting material results in further spread of pathogens and consequent losses in viticulture.
