Abstract
Host cells under the influence of the crown-gall bacteria (Phytomonas tumefaciens) acquired the capacity for autonomous growth. Tissue fragments from crown-gall tumors were successfully cultured in vitro and were shown to be bacteria free. When implanted in healthy plant tissue, typical crown-gall tumors resulted.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
