This is the first study that investigates the anti-virulence and anti-biofilm activities of 3-methoxycinnamic acid against A. tumefaciens. With its potential QS-related virulence and biofilm inhibitory activities, 3-methoxycinnamic acid is expected to be developed as a potent pesticide or adjuvant for the prevention and treatment of crown gall caused by A. tumefaciens.
