Abstract
Agrobacterium rhizogenes transfers genes encoding phenotypic alterations that serve as morphological markers for the presence of foreign DNA. These alterations facilitate root culture and thus studies of roots and their interactions with their biological and physical environments. They also provide insights into how plants develop.
