Abstract
As the outcome of a meeting held at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, on November 6 (see NATURE, 141, 88 ; 1938), a Committee, to be known as “The Plant Hormone Committee” has been formed with the following membership: Mr. F. P. Knight (Knap Hill Nursery Co.), Dr. C. R. Metcalfe (Kew, convener and secretary), Mr. F. O. Mosley (Lowe and Shawyer, Ltd.), Prof. R. H. Stoughton (University of Reading), Mr. W. G ; Templeman (Imperial Chemical Industries, Ltd.), and Dr. M. A. H. Thicker (Royal Horticultural Society). The terms of reference are “to consider the practical applications of 'phytohormones' in relation to plant cultivation”. The committee is at present engaged in compiling a list of species of which cuttings cannot easily be struck even by experienced propagators, in the hope that by intensive experimentation, methods for propagating them successfully may biscovered. Further information about the committee may be obtained from the Secretary.
