Acetosyringone is a phenol secreted by wounded plant tissues. It induces expression of virulence A genes and chemotaxis in A. tumefaciens strains that contain a tumor-inducing plasmid used to transfer genetic information to plant cells. Acetosyringone is widely used to increase efficacy of genetic transformation for the creation of genetically modified dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous plants.
