Tissue Culture and Effects of Hormones

This is a video produced by Prof Heslop-Harrison of the Â鶹ÊÓƵ shows the effects on hormones on plant cells. Tobacco leaf squares were placed onto tissue culture media with different hormones. Carrot root disks were then taken and infected with three strains of Agrobacterium.
