He said that by mixing the trees DNA with ecoli then intense acceleration of growth of the tree is possible. I'm not sure if this was a theory of his
or not. I was in a state of confusion on this can someone care to elaborate on what he was saying to us commoners.
Accelerated growth of trees, is this possible??LearnedAmateur - 13-11-2017 at 03:35
I found this article about accelerated tree growth, but it doesn't mention the mechanism you have. Rather, it involves the protection of plants
against harmful organisms and production of chemicals which assist in the development of the plant, and is mediated by certain species of both
bacteria and fungi. It also works differently for varying species of plant, and doesn't have a wide spectrum of compatibility.
Because he was a guest speaker at my university. It was a 1 time lecture where hundreds of people gathered at the auditorium to hear him speak. That's

Get his name, i bet if you google scholar it you will find his research. Mixing the DNA could be for anything!
E.coli is often used because......well because loads of reasons and it just is, there is no significance to it being E.coli.
The clever bit will be whatever the plasmid codes for in the modified E.coli. That is then fused into the tree DNA and the tree starts to do whatever
it is the plasmid is coded for.
But its highly likely if he spoke in a guest lecture, then he will have written papers on it, so find his name and institution and i bet you will find
his papers.
Just a side thought, you positive he wasnt talking about accelerated particle guns and E.coli DNA? There is a method of getting genes int9o cells
using a high speed gun and micro particles of gold.

I think some of this professor's papers would be interesting to read (assuming I could understand them). Can you share his name/location? Back in the
day you could request reprints from authors. In grad school (in the '60s we even had "form" postcards for this purpose. I guess the photocopier
killed off this practice.Fulmen - 14-11-2017 at 22:46
