Abstract
IN a series of recent investigations, it has been shown that plants can be grown in atmospheres with reduced oxygen pressures or in air at reduced total pressure. Germination and seedling growth are in some cases accelerated at sub-atmospheric oxygen levels, and are commonly comparable with these processes in air.
