Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Soil bacteria Agrobacterium tumefaciens and Agrobacterium rhizogenes are able to modify plant cell genome and activate the level of plant growth hormones Thus, the gene mutated plant cell cultures could form new types of plants with the higher amount of phyto-hormones. This modification is a result of interaction of soil bacteria with higher plant cells.
