Wound Tumor Disease

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses wound tumor disease in plants. Wound virus (WTV) is an example of a double-stranded RNA that consistently initiates tumors eukaryotic cells and as such offers opportunities to discover the way by which induces maintains growth. In study chapter, when known plant hormones or hormone-like substances were applied stems plants infected with WTV, some them stimulated production. Similarly, treated control free did not produce tumors. Of 24 tested, one was naturally occurring hormone, is, 3-indoleacetic acid; others synthetic substances. The root arise association Rhizobium nodules are especially suggestive hormone action. nodule starts externally endodermis subsequently develops internally it. It seems evident stimulus, must pass from across initiate tumor. A complete understanding molecular etiology would include only functions macromolecules their interactions but also other molecules involved role wounds different hereditary responses clones.
