A wound in the skin made by rubbing. 1. <physiology> The bitter, alkaline, viscid fluid found in the gall bladder, beneath the liver. It consists of the secretion of the liver, or bile, mixed with that of the mucous membrane of the gall bladder. 2. The gall bladder. 3. Anything extremely bitter; bitterness; rancor. "He hath . . . Compassed me with gall and travail." (Lam. Iii. 5) "Comedy diverted without gall." (Dryden) 4. Impudence; brazen assurance. <anatomy> Gall bladder, the membranous sac, in which the bile, or gall, is stored up, as secreted by the liver; the cholecystis. Gall duct, a duct which conveys bile, as the cystic duct, or the hepatic duct. Gall sickness, a remitting bilious fever in the Netherlands. <botany> Gall of the earth, an herbaceous composite plant with variously lobed and cleft leaves, usually the Prenanthes serpentaria. Origin: OE. Galle, gal, AS. Gealla; akin to D. Gal, OS. & OHG. Galla, Icel. Gall, SW. Galla, Dan. Galde, L. Fel, Gr, and prob. To E. Yellow. See Yellow, and cf. Choler. <zoology> An excrescence of any form produced on any part of a plant by insects or their larvae. They are most commonly caused by small Hymenoptera and Diptera which puncture the bark and lay their eggs in the wounds. The larvae live within the galls. Some galls are due to aphids, mites, etc. See Gallnut. The galls, or gallnuts, of commerce are produced by insects of the genus Cynips, chiefly on an oak (Quercus infectoria or Lusitanica) of Western Asia and Southern Europe. They contain much tannin, and are used in the manufacture of that article and for making ink and a black dye, as well as in medicine. <medicine> Gall insect See Gallfly. Origin: F. Galle, noix de galle, fr. L. Galla. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| crown gall | Gall or tumour, found in many dicotyledonous plants, caused by the bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens. (18 Nov 1997) |
| crown gall plasmid | A plasmid, or type of circular DNA, found in the bacteria Agrobacterium tumefaciens which infects dicot plants. Part of the plasmid inserts itself into the plant genome and causes tumours to form in the roots or in the stems nearest the roots. The plasmid has been used by geneticists, minus the tumour-causing parts, as a vector towards the genetic engineering of plants. (09 Oct 1997) |
| crown gall tumour | A disease which afflicts dicot plants, caused by the bacteria Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The disease causes large tumours to form in the roots or in the stems nearest the roots, deforming the plant along its base (where it meets the ground). (09 Oct 1997) |
| cystic gall duct | The ductus leading from the gallbladder; it joins the hepatic duct to form the common bile duct. Synonym: ductus cysticus. (05 Mar 2000) |
