Abstract excerpt
We have used the wild-type Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain A4 to induce roots on cucumber stem explants. Cultures of transformed roots obtained that were capable of hormone-autonomous growth could be grouped in three phenotypic classes. Of particular interest were extremely thick roots of a type not previously described. Characterization of the transferred DNA and of the expression of the corresponding genes...
