Carrots Transformed by Agrobacterium infections
Carrots Transformed by Agrobacterium infections

This videoblog from http://www.AoBBlog.com is about one of the Cell and Developmental Biology practicals that I run at the University of Leicester for course #BS1003. It involves infection of carrot root slices with three strains of Agrobacterium, two of which cause the plant cells to divide. An earlier video showed how we set up the cultures www.youtube.com/watch?v=mS6OjCekrNo ; here we review the results and look at the Agrobacterium plasmid structure.

The videoblog is best viewed in HD 1080 if you have a fast internet connection; shortlink is http://youtu.be/7V5Zdxsds5s.
