•Expression of rolB increases flowering in A. thaliana.•Expression of ORF13 causes dwarfism in A. thaliana.•ORF13 may be essential for the characteristic phenotype induced by A. rhizogenes. Plant transformation with the wild type Ri plasmid T-DNA of Agrobacterium rhizogenes is a promising method for...
