Treatment with A. rhizogenes 232 also led to significant increases in leaf number, stem diameter and shoot elongation during the first growing season after treatment. The bacterium was recoverable from both the rhizosphere and the bulk soil around the treated roots, but never from uninoculated control roots. Thus, the reaction of almond to A. rhizogenes was not a pathological one even though this bacterium is classified as a pathogen., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-131-5-1245
