Abstract
The virulence genes of Agrobacterium tumefaciens are specifically acti vated by plant phenolic compounds and allow this organism to genetical ly transform plant cells. New types of phenolic compounds, three pheno l amides derived from syringic acid, were synthesized. Introduction of an amide group in syringic acid strongly enhances its vir gene induci ng activity.
