- Association Seed-borne A. tumefaciens populations increased with contact time with the orchard floor during seed production.
- Observation Paradox seeds collected from commercial mother trees were free of A. tumefaciens.
- Intervention effect Seeds inoculated with A. tumefaciens produced seedlings with galls at the crown and/or roots in greenhouse experiments without artificial wounding.
- Observation Endophytic A. tumefaciens populations were found in shoot and root tissue.
- Observation A. tumefaciens inoculum may exist as a resident endophyte in walnut seedlings.
