Use of roots transformed by Agrobacterium rhizogenes in rhizosphere research: applications in studies of cadmium assimilation from sewage sludges.
The use of roots transformed by Agrobacterium rhizogenes in models for the rhizosphere is discussed. A list of species for which transformed root cultures have been obtained is provided and the example of studies of cadmium assimilation from sewage sludges is given to illustrate how transformed root cultures can be used in physiological tests under non-sterile conditions.
