Root proliferation can be induced by Agrobacterium rhizogenes on carrot discs both on the apical and basal surface (facing the root apex and base, respectively) or on the apical surface only, depending on the bacterial strain. This differential response on the two surfaces is denominated polarity. We correlate the polarity of some strains with the absence of an Ri plasmid genetic locus, present in non polar strains such as A. rhizogenes 1855, which bears sequence homology with the auxin genes of Ti plasmid T-DNA. We demonstrate that this locus is responsible for root induction on the basal surface since insertion of a transposon in this region of pRi1855 induces polarity in this strain.
