Abstract
A COMPARISON between the malignant tumours of animals and the plant tumours, commonly called ‘crown gall’, is beyond the scope of the present article*. It may be pointed out, however, that characteristic histological and cyto-logical differences can be observed—obviously enough—between these two pathological structures, such differences being inherent in the two types of host organisms themselves. It may be added furtherthat the analogies of response of plants and animals, to be described, were obtained in spite of their structural differences.
