Abstract
THE cancerous response of bacteria-free crown-gall tissue has been established by continued proliferation free from the causal organism or external source of auxin, and by experimental implanting. However, the action of an implant on a healthy host has remained in question, since the implant might effect a cancerous response1, no response2, or a temporary stimulatory response1,3.
