    In
    Bergey’s Manual of Systematic Bacteriology
    (

    ), the genus
    Agrobacterium
    is divided into four species (
    A. radiobacter, A. rhizogenes, A. rubi
    , and

    ). As a result, there have been several proposed revisions of the species classification in
    Agrobacterium
    . However, to avoid confusion in this chapter, we refer to the strains by their biovar designation.
